Facebook status not updated. Error 403, authentication error, SocialAuthException in Android

Question

I have created an Android application, in that the authorization with Facebook is done fine, but when I tap on the update status button it shows exception. It returns status code 403.

Code is:

if (providerName.equalsIgnoreCase("facebook") 
        {
            try 
            {
                adapter.updateStory(
                        "Hello SocialAuth Android" + System.currentTimeMillis(),
                        "AAA",
                        "BBB",
                        "CCC.",
                        "DDD", "EEE",
                        new MessageListener());
            }
            catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) 
            {               
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

Looking through the SocialAuth Wiki I found a current bug matching your description:

https://code.google.com/p/socialauth-android/issues/detail?id=175

So you're not alone with your problem. You could provide any more information in their issue tracker to help and to indicate the severity of the problem.

But besides that I'm afraid you'll just have to wait - or consider fixing the bug in the otherwise open source library on your own.

You could also check whether the original Java implementation or the .Net port are experiencing the same problem; if not the code from those libraries might help to find a solution.
