Page Update in Facebook - android

I am using facebook sdk in Android. I can take friendlist information by using:
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("fields", "name, picture,location");
Utility.mAsyncRunner.request("me/friends", params,new FriendsRequestListener());
How can I get page posts like statuses, image, photos, videos etc. ?

Facebook SDK post with BOTH place AND picture

I'm using Facebook's latest SDK for Android.
Is it possible to post a status with BOTH place AND picture?
My bundle looks like this:
Bundle postParams = new Bundle();
postParams.putString("message", "Hi there!!");
postParams.putString("picture", "http://www.peleozen.net/pics/2_bus_face_logo.jpg");
postParams.putString("place", "204519339582365");
When I make the request, it results in a status with only the picture.
Making the request without a picture results in a checkin
So...is it possible to do both?

You can post to the /me/photos endpoint, so in a sense you're posting a photo, adding a location to it and the caption is the message. So as an example, if using the latest SDK, you could take a look at the HelloFacebookSample and make the following changes to the postPhoto method to try this out:
....
Bundle params = request.getParameters();
params.putString("message", "Hi there!!");
params.putString("place", "166793820034304");
request.setParameters(params);
Request.executeBatchAsync(request);
....

Picture is not posted on facebook

hey I'm using this code technique to post on my fb wall
// parameters.putString("description", "Muslim Baby Names");
parameters.putString("picture","http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4834/pic1qu.png");
it does make a post but picture odes not get posted.
Kindly tell me how should I do it

Check out our example app that uses the Android SDK, Hackbook. Here is the relevant code that uploads a photo to a user's wall from a remote URL.
For your example, this is how you would do it:
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("url", "http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4834/pic1qu.png");
params.putString("caption", "Muslim Baby Names");
mAsyncRunner.request("me/photos", params, "POST");
Let me know if that helps!

how to pass my image to facebook feed dialog android

I am using following code to post on a user's wall.
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("message", facebookMessage);
params.putString("link", ComLabelConstants.FACEBOOK_LINK);
params.putString("name", linkname);
params.putString("picture", "http://some link");
params.putString("caption", ComLabelConstants.FACEBOOK_LINK_CAPTION);
params.putString("description", "This is description");
// displaying facebook dialogs
mFacebook.dialog(FbookAlertBoxActivity.this, "feed", params,new SampleDialogListener(this, mAsyncRunner));
Now, I want to use my own image in drawable folder to post on user's wall and not from any link. Can we do that? anyone have solution for this.

You can't publish an image directly to a feed like you are asking - you can only pass a link to the image.
The only solution is to upload the image to a web server and then pass the URL of the image as the picture parameter.

Create photo album in facebook using android and Graph api

We have a problem creating photo album in facebook using android and graph API. We already have been able to upload photos to facebook using Graph API. We are using following for uploading a photo to facebook.
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("method", "photos.upload");
params.putString("title", uploadFile.getName());
params.putString("privacy", "{'value':'EVERYONE'}");
facebook.request("https://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=photos.upload",params,"POST");
Please let us know if anybody aware of. We have searched a

I have found the working solution for the above problem.
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("name", albumName);
String response = mFacebook.request("https://graph.facebook.com/me/albums",params,"POST");
String albumId=Util.parseJson(response).getString("id");
Above code will help create a new photo album with the albumName and return the album id generated by facebook.

How to set an icon and add an action in a facebook post using facebook api?

I'm using facebook-android-sdk to post a message on facebook using the bundle shown below.
The message is displayed correctly, but the icon is not shown, and I can't find a way to get something like the image below.
Is this the correct way to set an icon?
How ca I add in the bundle something like "Get Spotify" as seen in the image?
Thanks.
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("message", "icon please");
params.putString("link", "http://www.digital-farm.org");
params.putString("name", "whip'em");
params.putString("description", "description");
params.putString("picture", "http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-17155638221985/img-twitter.gif"); //used for testing
params.putString("icon", "http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v27562/74/174829003346/app_2_174829003346_2760.gif"); //used for testing
mAsyncRunner = new AsyncFacebookRunner(mFacebook);
mAsyncRunner.request("me/feed", params, "POST", new PostRequestListener(), null);

Actually that icon you show in your screen shot is probably the Facebook application's icon. It's set within the Facebook application's configuration/settings. When you post via your Facebook application, the icon should appear automagically. See screen shot below for example.
Assuming you're using the Facebook SDK for Android, when you instantiate your Facebook object, you pass your Facebook application's ID as parameter into the constructor. That's how the wall posting is associated with your Facebook application.
