Edit (Erel): this code will no longer work. Search for FileProvider.
I'm using this code to post an image in Facebook with the Facebook app of the device.
I don't need create a Facebook App to get "App ID" and "App Secret" to share (until now).
The step 2 ("select the intent...") is because I found differents intents of Facebook app to share an image in several versions of Android (2.3.6, 4.0, 4.4, 5.0):
- com.facebook.katana/com.facebook.composer.shareintent.ImplicitShareIntentHandler
- com.facebook.katana/com.facebook.composer.shareintent.ImplicitShareIntentHandlerDefaultAlias
- com.facebook.katana/.ComposerActivity
I'll be glad to anyone who can test this code (example B4A 4.30 in attached) and any tip to help improve it.
Libraries: Phone (uri) and ContentResolver (packagemanager).
