    <p>Not quite as racy as it sounds - I'm using the below code to get a user's male or female friends only and it works fine. However, I also want to check their 'meeting_sex' which is a list of the genders a user's friend is interested in meeting, i.e. male, female or both. (Described <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/user/" rel="nofollow">here</a>) </p> <p>The meeting_sex requires the friends_relationship_details permission which I've added to the graph API explorer, but my output looks like this:</p> <pre><code>"data": [ { "name": "ABCDEF", "pic_square": "https://abcdefg.jpg", "sex": "male", "meeting_sex": null, "uid": 123456789 }, </code></pre> <p>I.e. the meeting_sex is coming back null. I know the meeting_sex is an array, not just a string, as are the other elements, but why is it coming back null?</p> <p>I'm new to FQL, and in fact any QL, so once I do get the array to read properly, how do I then make the comparison? i.e so I only return MEN who like WOMEN or MEN who like MEN etc. Here's my current code: </p> <pre><code>NSString *queryString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"SELECT name, pic_square, sex, meeting_sex, uid FROM user WHERE uid in (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) AND sex = 'male' ORDER BY name"]; NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: queryString, @"query", nil]; [FBRequest getRequestWithParams:dictionary httpMethod:@"GET" delegate:self requestURL:@"fql.query"]; </code></pre> <p>Thanks for any help :) </p> <p>Michael </p>

    1. COFYI, my delegates were firing fine when I made the call with [facebook requestWithGraphPath:@"me/friends" andDelegate:self]; so it's not an issue related to that...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
