I can't share images using the Share dialog

Question

Ok guys I don't know what I am doing wrong and I am losing my mind over this issue.I just started using Facebook Android SDK and I have no Idea what I am doing wrong.

I am developing a app which needs to share picture on Facebook.First I tried sharing status.It worked just fine.

Then I tried sharing photos according to the information on the documentations.Nothing happened.

This is my manifest.

<activity android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
              android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
              android:label="@string/app_name"
              android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"/>

    <provider android:name="com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider"
              android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider1501607393******"
              android:exported="true"/>

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

The App id is correct.And I have set up a ContentProvider in my AndroidManifest.xml.

And this is my Java.

    Bitmap image2 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.android);
    SharePhoto photo = new SharePhoto.Builder().setBitmap(image2).build();
    SharePhotoContent content = new SharePhotoContent.Builder().addPhoto(photo).build();
    ShareDialog dialog = new ShareDialog(MainActivity.this);
    dialog.show(content);

Please help.

After much pondering I finally solved this problem.For image share to work properly one should keep two things in mind.

1.Set up ContentProvider in your AndroidManifest.xml.

  <provider android:name="com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider"
          android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider1501607393******"
          android:exported="true"/>

where 1501607393****** is your app code.

2.Install the official Facebook app in the device before testing yourapp.

Dear Birat Bade Shrestha, For Photos,news feeds etc. you have to make special submission to facebook. Bydefault email, public_profile is permissible for app.But for any other use, you have to make a submission and if the submission granted by FB, you can access.

try this code maybe work for you.

    public boolean sharePhoto(Bitmap image, String description) {
        if (ShareDialog.canShow(SharePhotoContent.class)) {
            SharePhoto photo = new SharePhoto.Builder().setBitmap(image)
                .build();
            SharePhotoContent content = new SharePhotoContent.Builder()
                .addPhoto(photo).build();
            shareDialog.show(content);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
