i've been struggling these last days to make my app share some text and make it as a status in facebook.First i've tried action SEND(the easy way), but i was just able to send links. So i used facebook SDK(4.1.0) and i was obliged to switch from eclipse to android studio to be able to apply facebook documentation. Now after all this , i find out that even facebook sdk allows just sharing links , photos or video .
So my question is Does facebook allow sharing simple text(NOT LINK) and make it as a status programatically?? if yes, please tell me how ?? if no , why do i have apps(i the google play) that share the user's best result via facebook? how do they achieve it?
this is my code to share via facebook (it's the same as the documentation link)
share = (ShareButton) rootView.findViewById(R.id.sharebuttonnn);
ShareLinkContent content = new ShareLinkContent.Builder()
.setContentUrl(Uri.parse("https://developers.facebook.com"))
.build();
share.setShareContent(content);
You need to use Facebook sdk for sharing text.Using facebook share builder sharing link is possible but sharing text is not possible.
Another alternative you can share text using native facebook app is installed on device otherwise you can show that facebook app is not installed on your device.
