Open Facebook Page in Facebook App (if installed) on Android [duplicate]

I would like to open my Facebook page from my Android app, if the Facebook app is available - if not: this page should be open in the default browser.

for this i tried the following code:

try {
  Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://profile/MY_PAGE_ID"));
startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
   startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,    Uri.parse("http://www.facebook.com/MY_PAGE_NAME")));
}

Problem is: I have here an Android device with the newest version of Facebook. If I would like to open from my app the Facebook page, the Facebook app will open , but without my page.

I only see the message:

Trouble Loading Timeline.

What is wrong?

Solution 1:

"fb://page/ does not work with newer versions of the FB app. You should use fb://facewebmodal/f?href= for newer versions.

This is a full fledged working code currently live in one of my apps:

public static String FACEBOOK_URL = "https://www.facebook.com/YourPageName";
public static String FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID = "YourPageName";

//method to get the right URL to use in the intent
public String getFacebookPageURL(Context context) {
        PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
        try {
            int versionCode = packageManager.getPackageInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0).versionCode;
            if (versionCode >= 3002850) { //newer versions of fb app
                return "fb://facewebmodal/f?href=" + FACEBOOK_URL;
            } else { //older versions of fb app
                return "fb://page/" + FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID;
            }
        } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
            return FACEBOOK_URL; //normal web url
        }
    }

This method will return the correct url for app if installed or web url if app is not installed.

Then start an intent as follows:

Intent facebookIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
String facebookUrl = getFacebookPageURL(this);
facebookIntent.setData(Uri.parse(facebookUrl));
startActivity(facebookIntent);

That's all you need.

Solution 2:

This works on the latest version:

Go to https://graph.facebook.com/ (https://graph.facebook.com/fsintents for instance).

Copy your id Use this method:

public static Intent getOpenFacebookIntent(Context context) {
    try {
        context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0);
        return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://page/<id_here>"));
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("https://www.facebook.com/<user_name_here>"));
    }
}
