Share image to Facebook using Cordova SocialSharing plugin with link attached

Question

I'm using SocialSharing Plugin for cordova, to allow my Android App to share an image directly to user's news feed.

I have read all the documentation and found no way to make it share like this app does. I don´t know what language they used to build it, but the share dialog looks exactly the same, except that the published image to the user's news feed has a small link on top of it.

Is there any plugin for Cordova, that allow sharing this way to Facebook?

Thank you very much.

Answer 1

I'm currently investigating this too as the Social Sharing plugin doesn't link to your own Facebook App as far as I can tell.

I haven't tried it yet, but it appears that this plugin is what we need, and I'm hoping to investigate further in the next few weeks:

This SO thread also seems relevant and references the old version of the Facebook plugin that the one linked above was forked from:

Facebook Cordova plugin - sharing a photo (with no link) results in empty Share Dialog

Hope this is useful!

Answer 2

I'm the maintainer of cordova-plugin-facebook-connect. The option to include photos in a share dialog will be added in the next release:
