I am using Facebook’s API to create a new album with a picture from my android app but I keep on getting these annoying errors that make no sense. I have done some research but have come up with nothing. Please help!
String albumName = ((TextView)findViewById(R.id.album_name)).getText().toString();
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putByteArray("pictures", toByteArray(mediaPath[0]));
params.putString("name", albumName);
request.request("https://graph.facebook.com/me/albums",params,"POST", new UploadListener(), new Object());
Take a look at my log cat

Try replacing:
With:
It’s clearly not happy with the byte[] so that’s where I’d start. (That’s assuming mediaPath[] is a string array as the name suggests.
If that doesn’t work, try creating the album first, then adding the pictures, check the solution here for working album creation:
