Facebook Share Dialog is not opening

As per this link here, I have installed the SDK 3.2.1 and implemented a uiHelper, along with FacebookDialog like this:

if (FacebookDialog.canPresentShareDialog(getApplicationContext(),
            FacebookDialog.ShareDialogFeature.SHARE_DIALOG)) {
        // Publish the post using the Share Dialog
        Toast.makeText(this, "if", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        FacebookDialog shareDialog = new FacebookDialog.ShareDialogBuilder(
                this).setLink("https://developers.facebook.com/android")
                .build();
        uiHelper.trackPendingDialogCall(shareDialog.present());

    } else {
        Toast.makeText(this, "else", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        // Fallback. For example, publish the post using the Feed Dialog
        publishFeedDialog();
    }

For publishFeedDialog() I have:

    private void publishFeedDialog() {
    Bundle params = new Bundle();
    params.putString("name", "Facebook SDK for Android");
    params.putString("caption",
            "Build great social apps and get more installs.");
    params.putString(
            "description",
            "The Facebook SDK for Android makes it easier and faster to develop Facebook integrated Android apps.");
    params.putString("link", "https://developers.facebook.com/android");
    params.putString("picture",
            "https://raw.github.com/fbsamples/ios-3.x-howtos/master/Images/iossdk_logo.png");

    WebDialog feedDialog = (new WebDialog.FeedDialogBuilder(this,
            Session.getActiveSession(), params)).setOnCompleteListener(
            new OnCompleteListener() {

                @Override
                public void onComplete(Bundle values,
                        FacebookException error) {
                    if (error == null) {
                        // When the story is posted, echo the success
                        // and the post Id.
                        final String postId = values.getString("post_id");
                        if (postId != null) {
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                                    "Posted story, id: " + postId,
                                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        } else {
                            // User clicked the Cancel button
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                                    "Publish cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                                    .show();
                        }
                    } else if (error instanceof FacebookOperationCanceledException) {
                        // User clicked the "x" button
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                                "Publish cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                                .show();
                    } else {
                        // Generic, ex: network error
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                                "Error posting story", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                                .show();
                    }
                }

            }).build();
    feedDialog.show();
}

Now the FacebookDialog.canPresentShareDialog is always going to false even when Fb app is installed in the phone and then the publishFeedDialog() is called. But the app crashes after this.

What is the solution for this? Why is the normal facebook dialog shown when the app is there in my phone? (I am using Lenevo model, if that helps)

You need a newer FB app in order for the share dialog to work. Make sure you download the latest ones!

Also, no, you don't need login to enable the share dialog.
