Attach picture to action using facebook open graph stories v4

I am using facebook SDK 4. and the open graph stories api. I am able to create an action and share it when there is no user created image, but when adding an image, I can't figure out how to link the SharePhotoContent to the action created.

My code is:

ShareOpenGraphAction.Builder actionBuilder = new ShareOpenGraphAction.Builder();

    actionBuilder.setActionType("fbclimbmystats:on_sight"); //name space needed
actionBuilder.putObject("route", fbRoute); 
ShareOpenGraphAction action = actionBuilder.build();

//Create a Bitmap image to add
Bitmap bitmap = null;
if (photoPath !=  null){
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(photoPath);
}

SharePhoto photo = null;
if (bitmap != null){
    photo = new SharePhoto.Builder()
    .setBitmap(bitmap)
    .setUserGenerated(true)
    .build();
}

ShareContent content;

if (photo!=null){
    content = new SharePhotoContent.Builder()
    .addPhoto(photo)
    .build();
}
else {
    ShareOpenGraphContent.Builder contentBuilder = new ShareOpenGraphContent.Builder();
    contentBuilder.setPreviewPropertyName("route"); // No namespace here
    contentBuilder.setAction(action);
    content =  contentBuilder.build();
}

So if the user has taken a photo, I want to share it in the story. And to do that, I create a SharePhotoContent. But then it is not linked to the action and the dialog displayed is basically just sharing the photo, which is not the point.

The documentation from facebook states:

To attach pictures of a book to the books.reads action, an app should load images as a Bitmap and pass those to the Share dialog when it's opened.

The Share dialog shows a preview of the story and use Bitmap passed above in the story preview instead of using the object's image.

So what am I missing? Should I first initiate the dialog with the ShareOpenGraphContent and then pass the SharePhotoContent ? if yes how?

Also still regarding the sharing of user generated photos using open graph, do I need to have the Story reviewed?

Thanks

It looks like the documentation is incorrect. Here is an example of attaching an image to an OG share dialog invocation.

private void invokeOGShareDialog(Bitmap bitmap) {

    // Create OG object
    ShareOpenGraphObject object = new ShareOpenGraphObject.Builder()
            .putString("og:type", "books.book")
            .putString("og:title", "A Game of Thrones")
            .putString("og:description", "In the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, " +
                    "sinister and supernatural forces are mustering.")
            .putString("books:isbn", "0-553-57340-3")
            .build();

    SharePhoto photo = new SharePhoto.Builder()
            .setBitmap(bitmap)
            .setUserGenerated(true)
            .build();

    // Create an action
    ShareOpenGraphAction action = new ShareOpenGraphAction.Builder()
            .setActionType("books.reads")
            .putObject("book", object)
            .putPhoto("image", photo)
            .build();

    // Create the content
    ShareOpenGraphContent content = new ShareOpenGraphContent.Builder()
            .setPreviewPropertyName("book")
            .setAction(action)
            .build();

    ShareDialog.show(this, content);

}
