[android-developers] Re: Market link without related apps garbage
Hi We have encountered the same problem when sharing via Facebook. have you found a solution for the random icon problem? Does any one know if I can set a specific icon as default so he will have priority over other images/icons? does changing the icon name can make him be the first one selected?

The answer is very simple - when I post this link toFacebooktoshare,Facebookwill parse the link and extract images to show right next to the post. If there are other related apps displayed - there is not guarantee that the picture from my app will show up next to the link. So far - I've mostly seen pictures from related apps showing up.
