Android Intent directly to Facebook sharing?

Following code works perfectly, 

Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "text");
sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Title");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent, "Share using"));

but it open a list and from this list I have to select Facebook and then everything is smooth.

But is there any config changes that can open Facebook sharing directly instead of going through the menu.

Try the following code, now the intent will open Facebook directly.

List<Intent> targetedShareIntents = new ArrayList<Intent>();

Intent facebookIntent = getShareIntent("facebook", "subject", "text_or_url");
// subject may not work, but if you have a url place it in text_or_url
if(facebookIntent != null)
    targetedShareIntents.add(facebookIntent);

Intent chooser = Intent.createChooser(targetedShareIntents.remove(0), "Delen");

chooser.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, targetedShareIntents.toArray(new Parcelable[]{}));

startActivity(chooser);

// To precisely get the facebook intent use the following code 

private Intent getShareIntent(String type, String subject, String text) 
{
    boolean found = false;
    Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    share.setType("text/plain");

    // gets the list of intents that can be loaded.
    List<ResolveInfo> resInfo = getActivity().getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(share, 0);
    System.out.println("resinfo: " + resInfo);
    if (!resInfo.isEmpty()){
        for (ResolveInfo info : resInfo) {
            if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().contains(type) || 
                    info.activityInfo.name.toLowerCase().contains(type) ) {
                share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,  subject);
                share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,     text);
                share.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
                found = true;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (!found)
            return null;

        return share;
    }
    return null;
}

this should be possible, if you get first all activities, that supports your intent and then get the correct and do a explicit call. To get all activities use context.getPackageManager.queryIntentActivities(Intent, int). The coding shouldn't be a big problem.
