To Post on friend's wall using feed dialog in sdk 3.5

Question

I am trying to post on the wall or send a private message to a friend.. I am using the latest SDK 3.5. I read that we should use the feed dialog to perform it.

my Code

private void publishFeedDialog() {
    try{
        Bundle params = new Bundle();
        params.putString("name", "Facebook SDK for Android");//title 
        params.putString("caption", "Build great social apps and get more installs.");//caption 
        params.putString("description", "The Facebook SDK for Android makes it easier and faster to develop Facebook integrated Android apps.");

        WebDialog feedDialog = (
                new WebDialog.FeedDialogBuilder(InviteParticipantsActivity.this,
                    Session.getActiveSession(),
                    params))
                .setOnCompleteListener(null)
                .build();
            feedDialog.show();
}
catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}
}

This code will post it on my wall but I am looking to post it on a friends wall or send a message.

I have all the details such as the name and id of the target user.

Can we put multiple ids to share with multiple friends? If not how can we share text with multiple friends? – Hardik Joshi Apr 26 '14 at 11:55

Use below code. Use setTo() method where you have to pass the ID of the friend as parameter .

 WebDialog feedDialog =( new WebDialog.FeedDialogBuilder(getApplicationContext(), Session.getActiveSession(), null).setTo(ID)).setOnCompleteListener(null).build()
                feedDialog.show();

you can post on a friends wall.. I am sure about it – Srikanth Pai Sep 24 '13 at 11:49
@contactmeandroid you can see this link http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2013/06/26/october-2013-platform-changes/ – Madhu Sep 24 '13 at 12:12
read it carefully it says " Please use the Feed Dialog for posting." – Srikanth Pai Sep 24 '13 at 12:18
i got that.. but it takes only one id at a time.. any idea for sending group messages? I tried comma separated id's butdidn't work – Srikanth Pai Sep 24 '13 at 13:42
@contactmeandroid in setTo method you can pass comma separated ids. String ids = idList.get(0); for (int i = 1; i < idList.size(); i++) { ids = ids + "," + idList.get(i); } where idList is list of ids. It worked for me. – Madhu Sep 25 '13 at 04:34
Instead of posting to wall can we send a private message using feed dialog? – Srikanth Pai Sep 25 '13 at 11:36

@Madhu I can't post to multiple ids, I tried with the comma: .setTo("677718938956578,420195354761298") are you sure? This is all: WebDialog feedDialog = ( new WebDialog.FeedDialogBuilder(QuestionsActivity.this, Session.getActiveSession(), params)) .setTo("677718938956578,420195354761298") .setOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener() { LONG STUFF }) .build(); – Accollativo Oct 31 '13 at 18:21
