Intent to call FACEBOOK
The following is that trigger an intent and the same call the Facebook app. I managed to send email
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setType("plain/text");
sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("[email protected]"));
sendIntent.setClassName("com.google.android.gm", "com.google.android.gm"); sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new
String[]{"[email protected]"});
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "ASSUNTO");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "TEEEXTO");
startActivity(sendIntent);
Could you adapt this code to call the face app? Right now, thank you.

Facebook is a website and not a native Google app, so you have three options:
- calling a webView (doesn't need a
Intentnecessarily) or using native browser
Call facebook Facebook app, you will need the facebook app to be installed.
- using the official API
Intent with Facebook app:
As I said it is necessary to have the application installed, as this answer of the soen
-
Just to start the default screen:
Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"); intent.setClassName("com.facebook.katana", "com.facebook.katana.LoginActivity"); startActivity(intent); -
To start inbox:
String uri = "facebook://facebook.com/inbox"; Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri)); startActivity(intent); -
Other screens:
facebook://facebook.com/inbox facebook://facebook.com/info?user=544410940 (id do usuário, somente numeros) facebook://facebook.com/wall facebook://facebook.com/wall?user=544410940 (irá mostrar apenas informações visiveis para amigos, caso contrário redireciona para outro activity) facebook://facebook.com/notifications facebook://facebook.com/photos facebook://facebook.com/album facebook://facebook.com/photo facebook://facebook.com/newsfeed
Using the official package
This is more complicated, but allows you some extra control
- register https://developers.facebook.com/quickstarts/?platform=android
- create an application name
- API 15: Android is required at least 4.0.3
- create the Keys
- amount or
com.facebook.FacebookSdk - follow the documentation https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/android
Using the default browser installed
The following code will use the default browser, it can facilitate if the user uses the browser to connect to facebook, because so it will probably already be logged in (I have not tested)
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.facebook.com");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
Using webView
The following code will use the webView:
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
setContentView(webview);
...
webview.loadUrl("http://facebook.com/");
In this case you can use the javascript interface to detect events or trigger events, just use addJavascriptInterface
