I'm using the code below to share text with facebook. The problem is that other networks work, but facebook goes blank. Has anyone gone through this?
Intent compartilha = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
compartilha.setType("text/plain");
compartilha.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Compartilhando frase");
compartilha.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Texto exemplo!");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(compartilha, "Compartilhando"));
This really happens and is how it was designed, according to Facebook. Take a look at this bug report :

Hi Facebook Developers,
This issue is going to be closed by design because our API does not support pre-filling the message for users as seen in our Policy Documentation here ( link ) under Platform Policy IV.2.
Thanks, Jesse
In other words, if you try to send some Intent to Facebook with text, they do not know if the user wrote this or was another application. It simply ignores the text and lets the user actually type what they want.
