Why don't you try like this.

String url = "http://www.facebook.com/yourfanpagename";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);

Place above code inside of your button click.

Just use intents for it. Here is an example,

In your button's click event:

// Open Website
    Intent intent;

    try {
        intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.facebook.com/yourPage"));
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        startActivity(intent);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("Exception Caught", e.toString());
    }

Hope this helps!!

You can do it in two ways:

Using intent to open the browser, like this:

String url = "http://www.facebook.com/your_page";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);

Use a webview in your layout and open a link in application.It is more preferable.

You can find the link here to implement it.
