                c++;
                final ActivityInfo activity = app.activityInfo;
                final ComponentName name = new ComponentName(activity.applicationInfo.packageName, activity.name);
                shareIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
                shareIntent.setComponent(name);
                startActivity(shareIntent);
                break;
            }

        }

Solution

  • Instead of using Intent to share in facebook you should try to use their WebDialog in sharing. Using Intent is not reliable all the time. (Sorry for my english :))

    Here is my sample code:

    Bundle params = new Bundle();
            params.putString("name", name);
            params.putString("caption", caption);
            params.putString("description", desctription);
            params.putString("picture", image);
    
            WebDialog feedDialog = (new WebDialog.FeedDialogBuilder(context, Session.getActiveSession(), params))
                    .setOnCompleteListener(new WebDialog.OnCompleteListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onComplete(Bundle values, FacebookException error) {
                            if (error == null) {
                                final String postId = values.getString("post_id");
                                if (postId != null) {
                                    ShareDialog.this.dismiss();
                                    Toast.makeText(context, "Shared Successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                                } else {
                                    Toast.makeText(context.getApplicationContext(), "Publish cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                                }
                            } else if (error instanceof FacebookOperationCanceledException) {
                                // User clicked the "x" button
                                Toast.makeText(context.getApplicationContext(), "Publish cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            } else {
                                Toast.makeText(context.getApplicationContext(), "Error posting story", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            }
                        }
                    })
                    .build();
            feedDialog.show();
