Android: How to share image with text on facebook via intent?

Question

I\'d like to share a photo with caption pre-filled from my app via a share intent, on facebook.

Example code

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.set

FB no longer allows you to prefill the sharing message.

In order to circumvent this, you will need to use an SDK to publish via a Graph request. For this you will need the publish_actions permission. Since last month you need to submit your app to a review process to gain access to publish_actions. Which you would fail if your app prefills the sharing texts. Trust me - I've had the Chutzppah to try.

So it looks like we would have to comply.

B.t.w. in iOS you can still prefill the texts using the FB sdk. Who knows for how long.
