Android Share text not showing up in Facebook

Question

I have a share button, which when clicked I want to open a share windows, so the user can share this text in social networks. The problem is facebook, it is not accepting the EXTRA_TEXT passed onto the intent

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
                String shareBody = "Here is the share content body";
                sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject Here");
                sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareBody);
                startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share via"));

every other share option (twitter, tumblr...) works fine, just facebook is giving problems... How can I solve this without having to create a whole new class with facebook sdk just for this purpose??

Answer 1

The Facebook application does not handle either the EXTRA_SUBJECT or EXTRA_TEXT fields.

Answer 2

You cant Share Text in Facebook as Facebook discards it and asks you in its application to write the text like what in your mind.
