Upload Image to Facebook from phone via share dialog using JS SDK

I am creating an app using Cordova and the Facebook plugin, which means I have the functionality of the Javascript SDK. How can I upload an image using the share dialog. I can share texts or already uploaded images via links. But is it possible to upload images via the share dialog?

I can upload images using the Graph API, but it has the disadvantages that I have to ask for permission to post on the timeline upfront, which is a bad user experience in my opinion.

Thankyou in advance!

I suggest you can use facebook plugin for cordova which covers all of your needs.You can download from (http://plugins.cordova.io/#/package/com.ccsoft.plugin.cordovafacebook) .It needs Android facebook SDK,download from (http://developers.facebook.com/android/). Here is the share function form this plugin that covers your need(I suppose). function share() {

       openFB.api({
            method: 'POST',
            path: '/me/feed',
            params: {
                message:"Facebook ApI test",
                 link: 'http://www.example.com/loc8',
                 name:'Facebook Api Test ',
                //image that share in posted in user timeline
                 picture:'http://www.example.com/Test.png'
            },
            success: function() {

                alert('Image Successfully shared in facebook');
            },
            error: errorHandler});
    }

Also you can pass the image as argument like this

function share(image){
   //do the facebook share stuff

}
