Android Facebook share: activity not found

Question

I have problem with my function for posting data on Facebook: ``` public void postData() { try { Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); i.setClassName("com.facebook.katana", "com.facebook.katana.ShareLinkActivity"); i.setType("text/*"); i.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "http://sample_url.com"); startActivity(i); } catch (Exception e) { Intent i= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse("http://sample_url.com)); startActivity(i); } } ``` Every time I get information that activity com.facebook.katana.ShareLinkActivity can't be run and I should add code to the Android manifest. Facebook application is installed on the phone. In AndroidManifest.xml: ``` ``` Exception in LogCat: ``` 01-30 14:46:00.903: E/AndroidRuntime(11626): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 01-30 14:46:00.903: E/AndroidRuntime(11626): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.facebook…

Accepted Answer

Finally I got this code to work:

```
        Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sharingIntent.setType("text/plain");
        sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject");
        sharingIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Text...");
        sharingIntent.setPackage("com.facebook.katana");
        startActivity(sharingIntent);
```

Main points are `setPackage` and `setType` - now Android chooses right activity from Facebook package.
