Start Facebook Chat with Another user using Facebook ID

Question

Is there any way to start a facebook chat using the messenger application. I know we can lead a user to the messenger application using intents and using their Messenger API. But I want to do is open a chat window directly with particular user using the facebook User Id. Is that possible?

I found this post Android Facebook sdk messaging ID mismatch I couldn't really find much else and I was hoping the new messenger API might support that kind of an interaction?

The answer is in the first comment of the other thread: That solution does not work with App Scoped IDs, and you don´t get the real IDs anymore. Even if it would be possible, you can only get App Scoped IDs of friends who authorized your App too. Meaning, it´s impossible.

thanks. I found out on the FB developers group as well. Just that it seems a pretty useful feature to have. – Vinay Jun 08 '15 at 20:37

try this... final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://messaging/" + facebookId)); But you have to know the facebook id . Ref: How to open specific contact chat screen in various popular chat/social-networks apps?
