10-19 11:40:43.065: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7466): java.lang.NullPointerException

From your Logcat Null pointer occurs in line number :304.

So check Error due to Post on Wall or Conversion of Bitmap to byteArray .

Try to post in Facebook wall like this Call a Method and pass necessary parameters like this :

post_on_wall(decription);

Pass a parameter to method and simply your code also it will provide you Look and feel :

 post_on_wall(String desc) {
    try{
      Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
      parameters.putString("message", "Test Post in Facebook Wal");
      parameters.putString("description", desc);
      String  response = facebook.request("me/feed",parameters,"POST");       
      Log.v("response", response);
   }
   catch(Exception e){}
 }

For further example to post on facebook wall check Post on Wall
