RestFB: checkin with expanded link

Question

I want to do the following:

To create a checking with a link. This code works:

FacebookType publishCheckinResponse = facebookClient.publish("me/checkins", FacebookType.class, 
                Parameter.with("message", "message"),
                Parameter.with("coordinates", coordinates),
                Parameter.with("link", "http://url"),
                Parameter.with("place", "placeId")
        );

But I need a link to have additional information, like icon and description. This code produces empty icon and description.

When I post only link to "me/links", I can set these fields, and link looks exactly as I need. Can somebody explain how to add "expanded" link to checking? Thanks.

Answer 1

try this

facebookClient.publish("me/links", String.class, inputStream, Parameter.with("access_token", accessToken), Parameter.with("message", msgTxtOption), Parameter.with("picture", imageURL), Parameter.with("link", link == null ? "" : link), Parameter.with("description", Description), Parameter.with("name", titile));
