When to request permissions with Facebook’s new Android SDK 3.0?

I was able to get it to work. It’s a modification of your Version 2 sample. The link Jesse provided also helped a ton.

Here is the code I run through when authenticating a user:

private void signInWithFacebook() {

    mSessionTracker = new SessionTracker(getBaseContext(), new StatusCallback() {

        @Override
        public void call(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) {
        }
    }, null, false);

    String applicationId = Utility.getMetadataApplicationId(getBaseContext());
    mCurrentSession = mSessionTracker.getSession();

    if (mCurrentSession == null || mCurrentSession.getState().isClosed()) {
        mSessionTracker.setSession(null);
        Session session = new Session.Builder(getBaseContext()).setApplicationId(applicationId).build();
        Session.setActiveSession(session);
        mCurrentSession = session;
    }

    if (!mCurrentSession.isOpened()) {
        Session.OpenRequest openRequest = null;
        openRequest = new Session.OpenRequest(SignUpChoices.this);

        if (openRequest != null) {
            openRequest.setDefaultAudience(SessionDefaultAudience.FRIENDS);
            openRequest.setPermissions(Arrays.asList("user_birthday", "email", "user_location"));
            openRequest.setLoginBehavior(SessionLoginBehavior.SSO_WITH_FALLBACK);

            mCurrentSession.openForRead(openRequest);
        }
    }else {
        Request.executeMeRequestAsync(mCurrentSession, new Request.GraphUserCallback() {
              @Override
              public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response) {
                  Log.w("myConsultant", user.getId() + " " + user.getName() + " " + user.getInnerJSONObject());
              }
            });
    }
}

For testing I ran it through the below code after returning from Facebooks authentication:

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  Session.getActiveSession().onActivityResult(this, requestCode, resultCode, data);

  if (mCurrentSession.isOpened()) {
    Request.executeMeRequestAsync(mCurrentSession, new Request.GraphUserCallback() {

          // callback after Graph API response with user object
          @Override
          public void onCompleted(GraphUser user, Response response) {
              Log.w("myConsultant", user.getId() + " " + user.getName() + " " + user.getInnerJSONObject());
          }
        });
    }
}
