Android post status intent

Question

I want to post a text on facebook without the facebook sdk.

I already see how can I share link with facebook

  Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        intent.setType("text/plain");
// intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Foo bar"); // NB: has no effect!
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, urlToShare);

// See if official Facebook app is found
        boolean facebookAppFound = false;
        List<ResolveInfo> matches = getActivity().getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
        for (ResolveInfo info : matches) {
            if (info.activityInfo.packageName.toLowerCase().startsWith("com.facebook.katana")) {
                intent.setPackage(info.activityInfo.packageName);
                facebookAppFound = true;
                break;
            }
        }

// As fallback, launch sharer.php in a browser
        if (!facebookAppFound) {
            String sharerUrl = "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=" + urlToShare;
            intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(sharerUrl));
        }

        startActivity(intent);
    }

I want to do the same but with simple text.. What can I do ?

@Pavlos i mean plain text, not URL. – Boldijar Paul Sep 26 '14 at 14:34 — Boldijar Paul, Sep 26 '14 at 14:34

I think that you can't really do this! I have a look at the following link, as it says it's a know bug and Facebook doesn't seem to care fixing it. Android and Facebook share intent
