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

by

"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="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34564211/+ 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.
