Facebook Share Button disabled

Question

I upgraded the Facebook ShareButton from 4.5.0 to 4.16.1 and now the ShareButton is disabled. I have to support back to Android API level 9, and I just want to use the ShareButton from the Facebook SDK. With 4.5, it was working well.

Here is Facebook Activity from the manifest, I don't use a provider:

<activity
    android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
    android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
    tools:replace="android:theme" />

FB Button onClick listener:

facebookShareButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        ShareLinkContent content = new ShareLinkContent.Builder()
            .setContentTitle(title)
            .setContentDescription(preview)
            .setContentUrl(Uri.parse(url))
            .build();
        shareDialog.show(content);
    }
});

I initialize the Facebook SDK in my Application class like this:

FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(this);

Why doesn't it work after upgrading the SDK?

Set your content to share while implementing Share option in Facebook sdk. So set the content while defining the share button.

ShareLinkContent content = new ShareLinkContent.Builder()
            .setContentUrl(Uri.parse("https://developers.facebook.com"))
            .build();
fbShareButton.setShareContent(content);
