URL to open facebook app in android [duplicate]

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Open Facebook page from Android app?

I have a webview in my android app, and I would like to put a link in that opens the facebook app to my fanpage. In iOS you can say fb://... and it will open the facebook app. Is there a way to do it in android? I'm already overriding shouldOverrideUrlLoading, so I could intercept it and launch an intent if I need to.

Answer 1

You need to use Intents. Here's how to call the FB application (if it is installed):

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.facebook.katana","com.facebook.katana.ProxyAuth");
intent.putExtra("client_id", applicationId);
mAuthActivityCode = activityCode;
activity.startActivityForResult(intent, activityCode);

This code is taken from the Facebook API, which authorizes an action. Ajust to suit your needs. Code is Copyright 2010 Facebook, Inc., licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
