Facebook SDK and sharing a Play Store app link with ShareDialog issue

I'm trying to share a link(my Google Play app link) using ShareDialog from Facebook SDK but the problem is that when the URL is my app's Google Play link the other information is not displayed correctly... Actually it's displaying only the link from Google Play without name or description!
Here's the code:
FacebookDialog shareDialog = new FacebookDialog.ShareDialogBuilder(
this)
.setLink("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<myapp>")
.setDescription("Test")
.setName("Test for facebook")
.build();
uiHelper.trackPendingDialogCall(shareDialog.present());
I tried everything and with other URL's actually is working(displaying name, description, caption etc.) but not with the app's URL.
Does anyone know why a Google Play link won't work with text, description or caption?

Actually if you specify the contentUrl (as in 4.0) or link (as in your case), it overrides the name, description, etc. You just don't need to give other things as it then becomes responsibility of url host to supply the details that should be shown when it gets posted on Facebook timeline.
Although, if you want to share something like Message from user followed by your app link. Then I would suggest to go for Graph API (I wasted 2-3 days in posting something like this via ShareApi/ShareDialog but ended up with using Graph API only.)
Code to share using Graph API:
// Constants to be used when sharing message on facebook time line.
private static final int FACEBOOK_ERROR_PERMISSION = 200;
private static final String PARAM_EXPLICIT = "fb:explicitly_shared";
private static final String PARAM_GRAPH_PATH = "/me/feed";
private static final String PARAM_MSG = "message";
private static final String PARAM_LINK = "link";
// Create the parameter for share.
final Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putBoolean(PARAM_EXPLICIT, true);
params.putString(PARAM_LINK, BirdingUtah.APP_URL);
// If message is empty, only our link gets posted.
String message = "This is the message to share";
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(message))
params.putString(PARAM_MSG, message);
// Send the request via Graph API of facebook to post message on time line.
new GraphRequest(AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(), PARAM_GRAPH_PATH,
params, HttpMethod.POST, new GraphRequest.Callback() {
#Override
public void onCompleted(GraphResponse graphResponse) {
searchDialog.dismiss();
if (graphResponse.getError() == null) {
// Success in posting on time line.
Logger.toastShort(R.string.msg_share_success);
Logger.debug(TAG, "Success: " + graphResponse);
} else {
FacebookRequestError error = graphResponse.getError();
if (error.getErrorCode() == FACEBOOK_ERROR_PERMISSION)
// Cancelled while asking permission, show msg
Logger.toastLong(R.string.msg_share_permission);
else
// Error occurred while posting message.
Logger.toastShort(R.string.msg_share_error);
Logger.error(TAG, "Error: " + error);
}
// Enable the button back again if profile and access token are non null.
if (Profile.getCurrentProfile() != null || AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken() != null)
mShareButton.setEnabled(true);
}
}).executeAsync();

Send App request to all friends in Facebook using 'Requests Dialog' in Android

I want to know how to send app request to all my facebook friends from android app. I tried in graph API. But, couldn't get it done.
https://graph.facebook.com/apprequests?ids=friend1,friend2&message='Hi'&method=post&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
I know this is a Duplicate question. But, couldn't find an answer yet.
I'm getting this error on the above API.
"All users in param ids must have accepted TOS."
I hope there will be a way to send app request to all friends from mobile on a click. Please share it.

The error message you receive ("All users in param ids must have accepted TOS") is because you are trying to send an app generated request to a user who is not connected to your app.
See the developer docs here.
Requests sent with the request dialog and app generated requests are different and you can't use app generated requests to invite users to your app.
Sending Facebook app requests are not available via the graph api. You can use the app requests java-script dialog to send the request though, you would just need to specify the user's id in the "to" property as detailed in the documentation.
Sample function:
<script>
FB.init({ appId: '**appId**', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml : true });
function sendRequest(to) {
FB.ui({method: 'apprequests', to: to, message: 'You should learn more about this awesome site.', data: 'tracking information for the user'});
return false;
}
</script>
Then just wire an onclick for each image to something like onclick="return sendRequest('**friendId**');"
Also you can call this function in javascript: It will give you all friends with photos. Also group of friends who are currently using same app. You can send request to any of them.
function sendRequestViaMultiFriendSelector() {
FB.ui({
method: 'apprequests',
message: "You should learn more about this awesome site."
});
}
See Facebook Friend Request - Error - 'All users in param ids must have accepted TOS'

Have you seen demo of "Hackbook" in the developer.facebook.com ?
You can refer HACKBOOK APP REQUEST FROM HERE.
You can achieve to post the app request to only one friend by below code.
Code:
Bundle params = new Bundle();
JSONObject attachment = new JSONObject();
JSONObject properties = new JSONObject();
JSONObject prop1 = new JSONObject();
JSONObject prop2 = new JSONObject();
JSONObject media = new JSONObject();
JSONStringer actions = null;
try {
attachment.put("name", "YOUR_APP");
attachment.put("href", "http://www.google.com/");
attachment.put("description", "ANY_TEXT");
media.put("type", "image");
media.put("src", "IMAGE_LINK");
media.put("href", "http://www.google.com/");
attachment.put("media", new JSONArray().put(media));
prop1.put("text", "www.google.com");
prop1.put("href", "http://www.google.com");
properties.put("Visit our website to download the app", prop1);
/* prop2.put("href", "http://www.google.com");
properties.put("iTunes Link ", prop2);*/
attachment.put("properties", properties);
Log.d("FACEBOOK", attachment.toString());
actions = new JSONStringer().object()
.key("name").value("APP_NAME")
.key("link").value("http://www.google.com/").endObject();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("ACTIONS STRING: "+actions.toString());
System.out.println("ATTACHMENT STRING: "+attachment.toString());
params.putString("actions", actions.toString());
params.putString("attachment", attachment.toString()); // Original
params.putString("to", "YOUR_FRIEND_FACEBOOK_ID");
Utility.mFacebook.dialog(getParent(), "stream.publish", params,new PostDialogListener());
public class PostDialogListener extends BaseDialogListener {
#Override
public void onComplete(Bundle values) {
final String postId = values.getString("post_id");
if (postId != null) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ""+getResources().getString(R.string.facebook_response_msg_posted), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ""+getResources().getString(R.string.facebook_response_msg_not_posted), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
Above code works perfect if you want to post the Apprequest only on One friend's wall. If you want to post on all then you have to make asynckTask which runs for all the friends post and post App request on all walls.
Update
Here is the link in PHP that have done same work to send request to all Facebook friends.
And [here it is clearly explained3 that it is blocked by Facebook to send a Friend Request to more then 15-20 friends.
Now, you have to only one option to do it is, use above code in AsyncTask to send Friend Request to all Friends One-by-One.

facebook, customized post on wall from Graph API

I want to send posts from Android to Facebook wall. Some initial code works but in my post occurs following problems:
If I set "link" in post then on top of post appears description a la
"JohnDoe published link from application SomeApp".
I want to have in top only standard user name a la "John Doe".
If I set picture in post then link to picture becomes link where user lands after clicking on post.
I want to show picture from eg. "mysite.com/picture.png" but after click on post I want to take user to "www.myadres.com".
I am trying to find solution basing on Graph API [as REST API is now deprecated].
Snippet of current code making above behaviour.
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("message", "test message");
params.putString("link", "http://www.google.no");
params.putString("caption", "app caption");
params.putString("description", "this app is about ...");
params.putString("picture", "http://www.facebookmobileweb.com/hackbook/img/facebook_icon_large.png");
params.putString("name", " just won 1M500");
Utility.mAsyncRunner.request("me/feed", params, "POST", new BaseRequestListener() {
#Override
public void onComplete(String response, Object state) {
System.out.println("response = " + response);
}
}, null);
Thank you in advance for help!
Best Regards
GT

To make post that looks like "normal user post "[and not like "sharing links"] post it with action "feed" and NOT "me/feed".
Finally:
Utility.mAsyncRunner.request("feed", params, "POST", new BaseRequestListener() {
#Override
public void onComplete(String response, Object state) {
System.out.println("response = " + response);
}
}, null);

Facebook Android How to upload picture on Facebook Wall using Android?

I am trying to upload pictures on the wall of Facebook using Android platform.
I downloaded the Facebook SDK for Android, and I am working with this. Afortunally I found a several codes to do it, but didn´t works, some of them have AsyncFacebookRunner but I have not this class on the FB SDK, Do you know when I can use a simple code to do it? with a project?
Thanks,
Andrés

I have added some code to
private final class LoginDialogListener implements DialogListener {
/* and the below code to add image */
JSONObject attachment = new JSONObject();
JSONObject media = new JSONObject();
media.put("type", "image");
media.put("src", image); // where 'image' is the image url or path stored in your device
attachment.put("media", new JSONArray().put(media));
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("attachment", attachment.toString());
mFacebook.dialog(mActivity, "stream.publish", params,
new SampleDialogListener());
}
add this too
public class SampleDialogListener extends BaseDialogListener {
public void onComplete(Bundle values) {
final String postId = values.getString("post_id");
if (postId != null) {
Log.d("Facebook-Example", "Dialog Success! post_id=" + postId);
mAsyncRunner.request(postId, new WallPostRequestListener());
} else {
Log.d("Facebook-Example", "No wall post made");
}
}

Use facebook developer site fore more information.Hackbook.java file has already explained it very well. thisHackbook.java

fbShare in android

Can anybody suggest a good method for creating a facebook share implementation for my application.
I have created the test account and API key for the facebook developer site...
I need to implement in such a way that,when the fbshare button is clicked,a particular content(dynamic content) should be posted as a status link in the corresponding linked facebook account...
Apart from the fb developers,i need some other way of implementing it...
Suggestions expected...(possibly better results expected)

Hi use this method in your code in facebook handler class
public void postToFBWall(final String message, final String image){
Thread thread = new Thread(){
public void run(){
try{
String descripton = "This is the plain text copy next to the image. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.";
Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("message", message);// message to be posted on facebook wall
parameters.putString("link", image);//link of image to be posted on facebook wall
parameters.putString("name", "My wish");// name of link
parameters.putString("description", descripton);// description of you post
String response1 = facebook.request("me/feed", parameters, "POST");
Log.v("facebook response", response1);
}catch (Exception e) {
}
}
};thread.start();
}

Try this one
