I made this dialog since the "normal" way of invoking the friend dialog end with an "Sorry, something went wrong" error. Recently, Facebook answered in a bug report that they were not going to fix this in a short or medium term (see this bug report https://developers.facebook.com/x/bugs/506955376009451/)

Assuming that you are logged in Facebook using the Facebook Android SDK
private void handleAddFriend()
{
new FbFriendDialog(this, user.getUsername(), new FbFriendDialog.DialogListener() {
@Override
public void onFacebookError(FacebookError e)
{
Log.d("UserTimeline", "FbFriendDialog onFacebookError: " + e);
}
@Override
public void onError(DialogError e)
{
Log.d("UserTimeline", "FbFriendDialog onError: " + e);
}
@Override
public void onComplete(Bundle values)
{
if (values != null)
{
String result = values.getString("action");
if (result != null && result.equals("1"))
{
// friend request sent or confirmed
}
else if (result != null && result.equals("0"))
{
// friend request declined or canceled
}
}
}
@Override
public void onCancel()
{
Log.d("UserTimeline", "FbFriendDialog onCancel: ");
}
}).show();
}

If we meet some day, and you think this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return.
