Question

At the moment my facebook addon is able to post URLs from the app to user’s wall. However, posted URL is posted as a simple URL (a link). It looks like this at the moment:

I have posted a message and a http://www.site.com

How can I force Facebook to fetch and display the content of the URL and post it along the user’s text? Something like this

I am posting messages as String and URL as Uri. The code is below.

private static final String MSG = "I have just posted a message and a link";
private static final String MSG2 = " to http://www.site.com";
private static final Uri MSG_URL = Uri.parse("http://www.site.com");
private void postMessageInThread() {
        Thread t = new Thread() {
            public void run() {

                try {
                    facebookConnector.postMessageOnWall(MSG + 
                            MSG2 + MSG_URL);
                    mFacebookHandler.post(mUpdateFacebookNotification);
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    Log.e(TAG, "Error sending msg", ex);
                }
            }
        };
        t.start();
    }

Post the URL using the link parameter, instead of having it just be part of the message.
