Display editable text in Facebook Share Dialog

Question

I am using the Facebook SDK to create a sharedialog with a sharecontent. However, how should i display editable text in the share dialog. I'm able to show links and all. I just don't know how to set a custom text which the user can edit.

ShareLinkContent content = new ShareLinkContent.Builder()
                                .setContentTitle("App Name")
                                .setContentDescription("Hi!! This is app")
                                .setContentUrl(Uri.parse("http://www.fsdfvdsf.com"))
                                .build();

                        shareDialog.show(content);

Don't prefill captions, comments, messages, or the user message parameter of posts with content a person didn’t create, even if the person can edit or remove the content before sharing. You may use our Share Dialogs to prefill a single hashtag in a post, but don't prefill any content a person didn't create via the API.

Facebook will not allow you to Share any static text you want.

That's why Facebook have provide it's own Share Dialog to post any text on facebook.

It will take image **OR** URL as static but not text.

So better for Facebook share only you use Facebook Share Dialog.

The thing is, if you put a URL in the EXTRA_TEXT field, it does work. It's like they're intentionally stripping out any text.
