Post to Facebook wall without using ShareDialog in Facebook 4.+

I am working on an app that I want to be able to post to Facebook wall. The language used for the app is non-latin based character set. Hence, the user types the content to share using the app itself and then share it on facebook without going to the ShareDialog as the content is already typed. I am using Facebook SDK for Android 4.+. Can anyone help me on doing this? All example I got is posting using ShareDialog. Facebook SDK seems to have classes like ShareLinkContent, SharePhoto, ShareMedia but no class to attach simple text content which I am trying to do. Or, can I make the content already typed appear on the ShareDialog's EditText?

 private void showFacebookShareDialog() {

    if (ShareDialog.canShow(ShareLinkContent.class)) {
        ShareLinkContent linkContent = new ShareLinkContent.Builder()
                .setContentTitle("Title")
                .setContentDescription(
                        "Share Text")
                .setContentUrl(Uri.parse("http://developers.facebook.com/android"))
                .build();

        shareDialog.show(linkContent);

    }
}

Facebook does not allow you to pre-fill the ShareDialog's text. As far as I know there also is no other way to post content on a user's wall.

What is possible is share a link using the ShareDialog, and you can pre-fill the link description and other attributes like image and title but I guess that's not what you want.

An example of that is:

ShareLinkContent content = new ShareLinkContent.Builder()
.setContentDescription(descriptionString)
.setContentUrl(Uri.parse(urlString))
.setImageUrl(Uri.parse(pictureUrlString))
.setContentTitle(titleString)
.build();
ShareDialog dialog = new ShareDialog(this);
dialog.show(content);
