I added a sharing feature on my app like this:

Intent share = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("text/plain");

// Add data to the intent, the receiving app will decide what to do with it.
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, toShare);

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, getResources().getString(R.string.share)));

When I choose to share with Facebook I can see the correct Image preview:

but then on facebook the image preview is missing:

And this is happening only when I share from Android, if I share from iOS the image preview is displayed correctly. Do you have any idea what can be the issue? Here an example of the shared link: http://pixide.org/it/share/?t=F61CAD079F61F540757E569F68332275

Thanks

Where did you store the image ? – Heshan Sandeepa Oct 04 '16 at 06:56
the image is actually on the facebook CDN – Stefano Giacone Oct 04 '16 at 08:21
Can u post the whole code including "toShare" bundle ? – Heshan Sandeepa Oct 04 '16 at 08:40
I already posted the whole code. toShare is simply a string and you can assume it's "http://pixide.org/it/share/?t=F61CAD079F61F540757E569F68332275" – Stefano Giacone Oct 04 '16 at 16:51
Add the image explicitly? https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/android – Eugen Pechanec Oct 04 '16 at 22:34
Yeah I know, but my aim was to use the "native" sharing method – Stefano Giacone Oct 05 '16 at 12:12

I do not want to force the user to share on facebook, I want to let the user chosse his preferred sharing method, so I need to go native – Stefano Giacone Oct 08 '16 at 08:37
Have you tried with `Share Dialog` of `Facebook SDK` ? – Jay Rathod Oct 08 '16 at 14:06
