Question

I use the following code to share content

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "The status update text");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Dialog title text"));

It is OK for email, sms and whatever except Facebook.
I google the reason and it seems that it is a bug of facebook since April but unfortunately no one fixes it.

However, I find that many app can still use intent chooser to invoke Facebook successfully such as Google reader. How can they do it?

As I know, we can use Facebook API, but how they can know user choose facebook in the chooser and invoke the facebook API?

According to the latest updating to the bug tracker this is ‘By Design’ and the bug has been closed.

So looks like this isn’t going to be possible via intents..
