Facebook SDK post with BOTH place AND picture

Question

I'm using Facebook's latest SDK for Android.

Is it possible to post a status with BOTH place AND picture?

My bundle looks like this:

Bundle postParams = new Bundle();
postParams.putString("message", "Hi there!!");
postParams.putString("picture", "http://www.peleozen.net/pics/2_bus_face_logo.jpg");
postParams.putString("place", "204519339582365");

When I make the request, it results in a status with only the picture.

Making the request without a picture results in a checkin

So...is it possible to do both?

Try posting it without the place to make sure the place tag is valid. My suspicion is that your place tag is invalid, which is why it isn't showing a place as checked in. — PearsonArtPhoto, Nov 13 '12 at 12:02

You can post to the /me/photos endpoint, so in a sense you're posting a photo, adding a location to it and the caption is the message. So as an example, if using the latest SDK, you could take a look at the HelloFacebookSample and make the following changes to the postPhoto method to try this out:

....
        Bundle params = request.getParameters();
        params.putString("message", "Hi there!!");
        params.putString("place", "166793820034304");
        request.setParameters(params);
        Request.executeBatchAsync(request);
....

For reference, see: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#photos

Yes, this actually works! Edit: note that it works on any facebook graph object that has a location attached to it — shaylh, Nov 22 '12 at 18:36
