Answer 1

You can use the Graph API to post photos to a user's wall.

See the reference page for more details.

In the Facebook SDK, you would use the Request class to make Graph API calls.

You can use the newUploadPhotoRequest method to add a photo.

If you want to add a description as well, try setting the "message" parameter:

Request photoRequest = Request.newUploadPhotoRequest(...);
Bundle params = photoRequest.getParameters();
params.putString("message", "description  goes here");
photoRequest.executeAsync();

Answer 2

Facebook changed this implementation for there version 2 Graph API requests, they recommend a Custom Story instead of posting (if you have your own content to put on the wall of the facebook user beside his comment, or even without his comment)

documentation goes here :

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/open-graph?locale=en_GB

just an error in the documentation, the facebook Open Graph objects are refered to by a colon, and not a dot, for example

they mention an open graph Object named "book" in a work space named "books" that way

"books.book"

the correct way is

"books:book"

and after you finish implementation you will need to review your application to facebook, which it's documentation goes here as well

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review?locale=en_GB

i really hate facebook documentation, it sucks
