Possible Duplicate:
launch facebook app from other app

I'm looking to see if it is possible to do the the following:

To have an email with a social link to a Facebook page within it, but, upon clicking, it won't open your phones browser but the official Facebook app.

Anyone know if that is possible?

Thanks!

You can use these options:

fb://profile – Open Facebook app to the user’s profile
fb://friends – Open Facebook app to the friends list
fb://notifications – Open Facebook app to the notifications list (NOTE: there appears to be a bug with this URL. The Notifications page opens. However, it’s not possible to navigate to anywhere else in the Facebook app)
fb://feed – Open Facebook app to the News Feed
fb://events – Open Facebook app to the Events page
fb://requests – Open Facebook app to the Requests list
fb://notes- Open Facebook app to the Notes page
fb://albums – - Open Facebook app to Photo Albums list

and many more. As for android there may be something similar. It's possible the same URL's work for the newer versions of the Android FB app. I have no device to check with.

  • This is the correct answer but do note that some of those schemes are a pain in the ass and work very badly. There is no official documentation for this, so they can be unsupported in the future. – Alex Salom Jun 29 '12 at 15:50
  • Indeed, but it is the only way to do it. – Diziet Jul 02 '12 at 08:30
