person.getField always returns null

[Rakesh]

Person.getField always returns null for any parameter that I pass to
the method. Could someone reason it out please?

[mini]

Hello Rakesh,

Use following-

viewer.getField(opensocial.Person.Field.THUMBNAIL_URL);

[Rakesh]

This works fine... But what about the other fields listed out in API
documentation? Even the PROFILE_URL returns null.

Another problem I am facing is, when I do
req.add(req.newFetchPeopleRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.Group.VIEWER_FRIENDS),
'viewerFriends');

it returns me a list of only 20 friends in the callback function while
I have more than 150 friends in my friendlist. How do I get the
complete list of friends?

Actually all fields are not supported by all containers.

I am working on Orkut... May be other fields are not supported.

Got any clue why only a few friends are returned in
newFetchPeopleRequest?

Rakesh, let's work first with the PROFILE_URL field.
First you have to create a param to add a request for PROFILE_URL,
like this:

var param = {};
param[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS] =
[opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL];

Then you use:

req.add(req.newFetchPeopleRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.Group.VIEWER_FRIENDS,
param),
'viewerFriends');

Now, to return all friends, you have to change the MAX filter param.
Use this:

var param = {};
param[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.MAX] = 900;

Now you can use both param to create your request:

var param = {};
param[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS] =
[opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL]; // return the correct links for
profile url
param[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.MAX] = 900; // set a
new value to MAX filter (default is 20)

If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Thanks Grigolon... That works just fine...
Regarding FetchPeopleRequest, does the APIs provide some way to fetch
the records a few at a time rather than fetching all in one go?

Rakesh,

You can use following for fetching first 20 records of friends-
params[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.FIRST] = 20;

[Rakesh]

I am getting an error in newFetchPersonRequest when I pass a userId to
the request. See code below
I am perfectly getting the friend id in "e.id" but in call back
function dataResponse.hadError() is true and var friend is null
Could you explain this please?

function OnClickFriend(e)
{
var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();

var param = {};
param[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS] =

[opensocial.Person.Field.ALL];
req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest(opensocial.DataRequest.PersonId.VIEWER),
'viewer');
req.add(req.newFetchPersonRequest(e.id), 'singleFriend');
alert(e.id);
req.send(OnLoadSingleFriend); };

function OnLoadSingleFriend(dataResponse)
{
alert("callback");
var friend = dataResponse.get('singleFriend').getData();
alert(dataResponse.hadError());
alert(friend);
document.getElementById('friendDetails').innerHTML =
friend.getDisplayName();

I have the problem to retrieve the the profile url for an owner using
newfetchpersonrequest and within
as optional paramters :

var param = {};
param[opensocial.DataRequest.PeopleRequestFields.PROFILE_DETAILS] =
[opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL];

but in the response function i am trying to get then the profileurl
by :

var owner = dataResponse.get('owner').getData();
var profileurl = owner.getField(opensocial.Person.Field.PROFILE_URL);


... but it doesnt work why???
