Here how i shared the linked in text,

share.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        String share = et.getText().toString();
        if (null != share && !share.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {

            OAuthConsumer consumer = new CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer(Config.LINKEDIN_CONSUMER_KEY, Config.LINKEDIN_CONSUMER_SECRET);
            consumer.setTokenWithSecret(accessToken.getToken(), accessToken.getTokenSecret());

            DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost post = new HttpPost("https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/shares");
            try {
                consumer.sign(post);
            } catch (OAuthMessageSignerException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (OAuthExpectationFailedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (OAuthCommunicationException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } // here need the consumer for sign in for post the share
            post.setHeader("content-type", "text/XML");
            String myEntity = "<share><comment>"+ share +"</comment><visibility><code>anyone</code></visibility></share>";
            try {
                post.setEntity(new StringEntity(myEntity));
                org.apache.http.HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(post);
                Toast.makeText(LinkedInSampleActivity.this,
                        "Shared sucessfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }else {
            Toast.makeText(LinkedInSampleActivity.this,
                    "Please enter the text to share",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
