How do I simply share content on Facebook wall using its Android SDK?

Question

I cannot find many examples of the FB + Android SDK and the samples are not simple enough(some of them are deprecated). My simple goal is to share some content on FB using my Android app. When I developed the iOS app it was simply

AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[appDelegate facebookLogin];


NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                               @"pikSpeak", @"name",
                               shareURL, @"link",
                               @"pikSpeak for iPhone !", @"caption",
                               @"Record audio at the moment of the image taken using pikSpeak and feel the moment come alive", @"description",
                               @"shared an audible pic using pikSpeak cam", @"message",
                               imageURL,@"picture",
                               nil];

[[appDelegate facebook] requestWithGraphPath:@"feed" andParams:params andHttpMethod:@"POST" andDelegate:self];

This code handled the sessions and saving the session details over app restarts.

1) How to simply share some thing in Android.

2) I saw Facebook(String app_id) is deprecated. If so, then what is its replacement?

P.S. : Using Facebook 3.0 SDK

Taken from Share on User's Wall using Facebook SDK:

private void share() {
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putString("caption", "Harlem Shake Launcher for Android");
    bundle.putString("description", "Your android can do the Harlem Shake. Download it from google play");
    bundle.putString("link", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.shush.harlemlauncher");
    bundle.putString("name", "Harlem Shake Launcher");
    bundle.putString("picture", "http://shush.mobi/bla.png");
    new WebDialog.FeedDialogBuilder(mContext, mySession, bundle).build().show();
}

If you need to login (add this in you activity wherever you need to login/share):

Session.openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback() {

    @Override
    public void call(Session session, SessionState state, Exception exception) {
        if(session.isOpened()) {
            share();
        }
    }
});

You will need to add to your activity:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    switch(requestCode) {
    default:
        if(Session.getActiveSession() != null) //I need to check if this null just to sleep peacefully at night
            Session.getActiveSession().onActivityResult(this, requestCode, resultCode, data);
        break;
    }
}
