I'm really struggling to get this working for Facebook, Twitter works perfectly but Facebook always opens the browser version. Any suggestions how I might find what the problem is?

it seems, recently you dont need to specify the className: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14951631/904525

In chooser I see all the options that can share TEXT, now when I choose Facebook I do not see any text pre filled.

Also, what if I want to share a URL on Facebook ?

Any idea on the same ?

i found the solution..for posting image in twitter..

var postrTwitter = Ti.Android.createIntent({
action : Ti.Android.ACTION_SEND,
packageName : "com.twitter.android",
className : "com.twitter.android.PostActivity",
flags : Ti.Android.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK,
type : "text/plain"
});
postrTwitter.setType("/");
postrTwitter.putExtra(Ti.Android.EXTRA_TEXT, "Text message ");
postrTwitter.putExtraUri(Ti.Android.EXTRA_STREAM, image_file.nativePath);

        Ti.Android.currentActivity.startActivity(postrTwitter);

While Posting in facebook. the text and image is not adding. i can get only the empty post screen ..

var intFB = Ti.Android.createIntent({
action : Ti.Android.ACTION_SEND,
packageName : "com.facebook.katana",
type : "text/plain"
});

intFB.putExtra(Ti.Android.EXTRA_TEXT, "http://www.google.com");
intFB.putExtraUri(Ti.Android.EXTRA_STREAM, image_file.nativePath);
Ti.Android.currentActivity.startActivity(intFB);

Wat is the mistake in this..? please explain..

@Ganeshkumarcaro
Change type to "image/png" and not "text/plain". FB does not allow you to set any text so this is why you are seeing the not text. You are not seeing any image because you are using the wrong type.. ;)

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.twitter.android/com.twitter.android.PostActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

try {
var intTwitter = Ti.Android.createIntent({
action : Ti.Android.ACTION_SEND,
packageName : "com.twitter.android",
className : "com.twitter.android.PostActivity",
flags : Ti.Android.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK,
type : "text/plain"
});
intTwitter.setType("/");
intTwitter.putExtra(Ti.Android.EXTRA_TEXT, social_message + "\n" + User.promoter_code);
//intTwitter.putExtraUri(Ti.Android.EXTRA_STREAM, image_file.nativePath);
//twitter supports any kind of string content (link, text, etc)
Ti.Android.currentActivity.startActivity(intTwitter);
} catch( x ) {
//Twitter app is not installed, fallback to sg else
}

This code is not working. how to solved it? how to put the package name and class name in android manifest xml?

I simply removed the class name and it worked
