Trouble Loading is shown when open FB page from Android application

Question

I can open FaceBook page in browser:

    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.facebook.com/<page_name>")));

I can open my profile page in FB application:

        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://facewebmodal/f?href=http://www.facebook.com/<face_book_name>")));

But when I try to open the Facebook page (not personal, but page) in FB application:

        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://facewebmodal/f?href=http://www.facebook.com/<page_name>")));

I get "Trouble Loading":

So, how can I open a Facebook page in Facebook app from my application on Android?

Does this answer your question? [Open Facebook page from Android app?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4810803/open-facebook-page-from-android-app) — Khaby Lame, Sep 19 '21 at 09:24
Unfortunately it does not solve the issue, as I can open "person" page, but have a problem to open "company" page. — Sergii Dmytrenko, Sep 19 '21 at 17:54
Maybe the company link is broken or the page is locked. Have you tried opening the page in another mobile? — Khaby Lame, Sep 20 '21 at 02:56
"fb://facewebmodal/f?href=http://www.facebook.com/". In this link what is< page name>? — Khaby Lame, Sep 20 '21 at 14:53

I've found the solution: use page ID instead of page name. For example, the needed page is https://www.facebook.com/suspilne.news, so I should use https://www.facebook.com/148182332275963 instead.

I've found this id when open the page in browser on Android.

Oh good. But now IDs are not much used. It is your choice. :D – Khaby Lame Sep 21 '21 at 02:42
