Facebook friends leaderboard (Android)

Question

I've been searching all over for a solution to this and have had no luck so far.

I'd like to have a leaderboard that compared scores between facebook friends. I've already got the facebook login working, but I can't for the life of me get a scoreboard working. All the solutions I've found are outdated, and there doesn't even seem to be a purchasable solution on the asset store.

This page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/services/scores-achievements leads me to believe it's an intended function of the Scores API, but I can't for the life of me find a working example anywhere (including the one facebook gives, as it was last updated in August)

Any help or even just a nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, as this has been the only real hangup in the development of our game thus far.

Thanks!

Best thing I can think of would require you to code a custom server. It could save the high scores with User IDs. Then, when you cross-reference with the facebook friends, you could request the high scores from members that also have a facebook ID linked to the game from the server.

It's probably possible to do that P2P without a server, but that would be a whole separate mess.

Check out this page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/services/scores-achievements

Specifically the "Create or update a player's score" section has lead me to believe it's possible to achieve a leaderboard without all of that custom setup. $$anonymous$$aybe I'm misreading, but I've also found old tutorials that claim to do just that, but there is nothing current available that explains how to do it.

@DMHMikeCook you should watch the tutorial made by GreyZoned on youtube. It is outdated but I managed to make it work by changing some lines. Just read the errors.
