I ran into the same issue and in my case, I was missing an entry in the AndroidManifest.xml file i.e.

<meta-data
        android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationName"
        android:value="@string/app_name" />

I faced this problem and got its solution by putting Application name into FacebookDialog. So here is the solution

FacebookDialog shareDialog = new FacebookDialog.ShareDialogBuilder(activity)
    .setLink("https://www.google.com")
    .setApplicationName("name of app")
    .build();
    uiHelper.trackPendingDialogCall(shareDialog.present());

It works for me!

I found this exception when my Facebook app is in Sandbox Mode but logged in and try to post status by a user who not included in developer list. You may check your developer roles or disable the Sandbox Mode.
