Have been dealing with this error for hours. Heres how I fixed it. The Actions and Objects you specified in your code are the ones that cause the problem.

The samples provided on the Facebook developers guide aren't good enough I feel. Heres a sample code you can use that will work perfectly. Basically make sure your ObjectType -> eg: video.other is set correctly and your Action type e.g: video.watches is set right.

    void sometestCode(){
        OpenGraphObject video = OpenGraphObject.Factory.createForPost("video.other");
        video.setTitle("Awesome Video");
        video.setDescription("This video will show you how to make the Opengraph work");

        OpenGraphAction action = GraphObject.Factory.create(OpenGraphAction.class);
        action.setProperty("video", video);
        action.setType("video.watches");            

        FacebookDialog shareDialog = new FacebookDialog.OpenGraphActionDialogBuilder(this, action, "video")
                .build();
        uiHelper.trackPendingDialogCall(shareDialog.present());

    }
