fb   page  does not work with newer versions of the FB app  You should use fb   facewebmodal f href  for newer versions   This is a full fledged working code currently live in one of my apps   public static String FACEBOOK URL    https   www facebook com YourPageName   public static String FACEBOOK PAGE ID    YourPageName      method to get the right URL to use in the intent public String getFacebookPageURL Context context            PackageManager packageManager   context getPackageManager            try               int versionCode   packageManager getPackageInfo  com facebook katana   0  versionCode              if  versionCode  gt   3002850      newer versions of fb app                 return  fb   facewebmodal f href     FACEBOOK URL                else     older versions of fb app                 return  fb   page     FACEBOOK PAGE ID                          catch  PackageManager NameNotFoundException e                return FACEBOOK URL    normal web url                   This method will return the correct url for app if installed or web url if app is not installed   Then start an intent as follows   Intent facebookIntent   new Intent Intent ACTION VIEW   String facebookUrl   getFacebookPageURL this   facebookIntent setData Uri parse facebookUrl    startActivity facebookIntent     That s all you need

Okay I modifed  AndroidMechanics Code  because on devices were facebook is disabled the app crashes   here is the modifed getFacebookUrl   public String getFacebookPageURL Context context            PackageManager packageManager   context getPackageManager            try               int versionCode   packageManager getPackageInfo  com facebook katana   0  versionCode               boolean activated    packageManager getApplicationInfo  com facebook katana   0  enabled              if activated                   if   versionCode  gt   3002850                          return  fb   facewebmodal f href     FACEBOOK URL                    else                        return  fb   page     FACEBOOK PAGE ID                                 else                  return FACEBOOK URL                           catch  PackageManager NameNotFoundException e                return FACEBOOK URL                     The only added thing is to look if the app is disabled or not if it is disabled the app will call the webbrowser

Here s a solution that mixes the code by Jared Rummler and AndroidMechanic     Note  fb   facewebmodal f href  redirects to a weird facebook page that doesn t have the like and other important buttons  which is why I try fb   page   It works fine with the current Facebook version  126 0 0 21 77  June 1st 2017   The catch might be useless  I left it just in case   public static String getFacebookPageURL Context context        final String FACEBOOK PAGE ID    123456789       final String FACEBOOK URL    MyFacebookPage        if appInstalledOrNot context   com facebook katana                  try                       return  fb   page     FACEBOOK PAGE ID                 previous version  maybe relevant for old android APIs                  return  fb   facewebmodal f href     FACEBOOK URL                    catch Exception e               else               return FACEBOOK URL             Here s the appInstalledOrNot function which I took  and modified  from Aerrow s answer to this post  private static boolean appInstalledOrNot Context context  String uri        PackageManager pm   context getPackageManager        try               pm getPackageInfo uri  PackageManager GET ACTIVITIES           return true            catch PackageManager NameNotFoundException e                   return false      How to get the Facebook ID of a page    Go to your page Right-click and View Page Source Find in page  fb   page  id  Here you go
