Facebook4j get page likes

I am using facebook4j-core-2.1.0 and trying to get the page likes. I don't know what I am doing wrong, I am kinda newbie at this.

    public static void main(String[] args) throws FacebookException
    {
        // Generate facebook instance.
        Facebook facebook = new FacebookFactory().getInstance();

        // access token ...

        AccessToken at = new AccessToken(accessTokenString);        

        // Set access token.
        facebook.setOAuthAccessToken(at);

        String facebookUserName = "Google";

        Page pgId = facebook.getPage(facebookUserName);
        Page pgL = facebook.getLikedPage(pgId.getId());
        System.out.println("Page Likes :" + pgL);
    }

http://www.facebook.com/Google shows that it have 18,281,664 likes, but when I ran the above code I got null value.

What am I missing here?

Solution

  • I think you should try something like this:

    String userName = "google";     
Page pgId = facebook.getPage(userName);
System.out.println("Page Likes :" + pgId.getLikes());

    Hope it helps.
