Access Token from my app doesn't work when I try to use it in a Facebook (FQL)

Question

I am using FQL(mentioned below) to retrieve friends checkins, When I try my query on graph explorer it works fine and gives the required results so this means that there is no problem with the my query but when I try the same query in my app to do so using access token from my app it gives empty array,

I have given following permissions,

   friends_status  
   user_status 

though I have tried with other permissions also.

FQL that I am using is:

SELECT checkin_id FROM checkin WHERE author_uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) and timestamp > 1362787200.

I want to use this in making batch request in which I get the checking ids from this FQL and then use them to get information in a dependent query. I have other solutions but they are time taking.

Your access token is probably expired. It can be tricky to keep up with access tokens, so instead try looking at having the user log in using a Session and managing its state. It'll automatically keep track of access tokens for you. Then you can do a Request via the 3.0 SDK and specify "fql" as a parameter.

If the user has logged in once, if you open up the session on app startup, it'll automatically log them in with a refreshed token.
