STORY

I have an app on playstore that downloads the cover photo of the user and sets as the backgound of the drawer.

What Happend?

It stopped working i was using the link below it was working like a charm, but it’s not working anymore, now i only get the id of the user but no cover

What was working before ?

https://graph.facebook.com/{my id}?fields=cover&access_token={my token}

Troubleshoot

I thought that maybe was something that i did without noticing in my code, so downloaded my app from the playstore and i got the same problem the cover is not being downloded so at this point im almost sure that the problem is something to do with facebook itself

I belive is something to do with permissions because i get a responce but not the source of the cover but if it was working with my user i don’t know why isn’t this working anymore

Failed Attemps to fix the problem

I went to Facebook Developers page and i tried this

new GraphRequest(
AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(),
"...?fields=cover", 
null,
HttpMethod.GET,
new GraphRequest.Callback() {
    public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
        Log.d(TAG, response.toString());
    }
}
).executeAsync();

Sadly this didn’t work, in facebook developers page they show this "...?fields={fieldname_of_type_CoverPhoto}" i belive fieldname coverPhoto is cover like i see here

Result

This will log

{Response:  responseCode: 404, graphObject: null, error:
{HttpStatus: 404, errorCode: 803, errorType: OAuthException, errorMessage: (#803) 
Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: ...}}

I tried to remove the 3 dots and i tried to add me?fields=cover got this:

{Response:  responseCode: 404, graphObject: null, error:
{HttpStatus: 404, errorCode: 803, errorType: OAuthException, errorMessage: (#803) 
Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: fields=cover}}

EDIT

I tried this

Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("fields", "id,email,gender,cover,picture.type(large)");
new GraphRequest(AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(), "me", params, HttpMethod.GET,
          new GraphRequest.Callback() {
          @Override
          public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
               if (response != null) {
                  try {
                     JSONObject data = response.getJSONObject();
                     Log.d(TAG, data.toString());
                  } catch (Exception e) {
                      e.printStackTrace();
                      Log.d(TAG, "ERROR");
                }
           }
        }
  }).executeAsync();

this prints all my information but no cover
