I'm working on a cordova app. I'd like to open a facebook page programmatiacally using javascript and I want to open that page using the facebook app (if installed) in the system (Android, iOS).

I tried:

var ID = 1010101010000;
var full_URL = "https://www.facebook.com/pages/page_name/" + ID;

window.open(full_URL, '_system');             
window.open('fb:' + full_URL);
window.open('fb:' + 'https://www.facebook.com/' + ID);
window.open('https://www.facebook.com/' + ID, '_system');

but nothing works.

Can you help me?

Thanks

edit:

I tried: window.open("facebook://pages/" + ID, '_system'); and similars, it just opens the facebook app but it does not redirect to the facebook page I want.
