Android intent open specific twitter in app

There is a way of knowing the id of the specific twitter that you want to open, to be able to open it in the official app.
I remember I found it long ago, but I can not remember.
I think it was a similar thing, but I'm not remembering.
Intent appIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("twitter://...?tweet_id=" + id));
appIntent.setPackage("com.twitter.android");

For launching a twitter user feed:
Intent intent = null;
try {
// get the Twitter app if possible
this.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.twitter.android", 0);
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("twitter://user?user_id=USERID"));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
} catch (Exception e) {
// no Twitter app, revert to browser
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://twitter.com/USERID_OR_PROFILENAME"));
}
this.startActivity(intent);

intent share facebook - Android

I want to share an image from android activity to facebook messenger app which is already opened in my device and reside in recent tasks of the android device.
I am using the below code to share the image but it is opening a new activity in messenger 'share seperately' but I want to share it to the already opened chat.
String mimeType = "image/*";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setPackage("com.facebook.orca");
intent.setType(mimeType);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, contentUri);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_PROTOCOL_VERSION, PROTOCOL_VERSION);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_APP_ID, YOUR_APP_ID);
activity.startActivityForResult(shareIntent, SHARE_TO_MESSENGER_REQUEST_CODE);

Facebook has restricted the text sharing over the post. It will either support a valid URL link sharing or Image Sharing. So I've posted the code which is referenced from https://stackoverflow.com/a/22994833/8331006
private void shareAppLinkViaFacebook(String urlToShare) {
try {
Intent intent1 = new Intent();
intent1.setClassName("com.facebook.katana", "com.facebook.katana.activity.composer.ImplicitShareIntentHandler");
intent1.setAction("android.intent.action.SEND");
intent1.setType("text/plain");
intent1.putExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", urlToShare);
startActivity(intent1);
} catch (Exception e) {
// If we failed (not native FB app installed), try share through SEND
String sharerUrl = "https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=" + urlToShare;
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(sharerUrl));
startActivity(intent);
}
}

How to follow on Instagram directly from Android app?

I want to add a button to my android app that allows my app users to follow me on Instagram directly from my app. How do I do this? Currently I have this code that allows my app users to open my Instagram profile:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://instagram.com/_u/" + R.string.instagram_id);
Intent likeIng = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
likeIng.setPackage("com.instagram.android");
try {
startActivity(likeIng);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://instagram.com/" + R.string.instagram_id)));
}

Android open specific facebook app profile page at other android app redirect to newsfeed page when facebook app is closed

I am trying to open certain Facebook profile page in my android app with specific user ID.
My code opens facebook app if it is installed otherwise open webbrowser.
It works fine except when facebook app is installed and it is closed.
In that situation it just opens newsfeed page instead of the profile page. When the facebook app is open at background, it successfully redirect to desired profile page. How can I solve this ? Also is there an official facebook document which describes about the way to access facebook app URI ?
try{
this.getPackageManager()
.getPackageInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0); //Checks if FB is even installed.
final String facebookScheme = String.format("fb://profile/%s", user2FbID);
final Intent facebookIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(facebookScheme));
facebookIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
startActivity(facebookIntent);
}catch (Exception e) {
String facebookScheme = "https://m.facebook.com/" + user2FbID;
Intent facebookIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(facebookScheme));
startActivity(facebookIntent);
}

Try this, Works for me
try
{
Intent followIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://profile/<your profile_id>"));
startActivity(followIntent);
final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run() {
Intent followIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://profile/<your profile_id>"));
startActivity(followIntent);
}
}, 1000 * 2);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.facebook.com/<user_name>")));
String errorMessage = (e.getMessage()==null)?"Message is empty":e.getMessage();
Log.e("Unlock_ScreenActivity:FacebookAppNotFound" ,errorMessage);
}

This was happening with me too. Updated the Facebook app and it's solved now, seems it was something to do in with Facebook. It's working properly now.
Here's the code I'm using:
public static Intent getOpenFacebookIntent(Context context) {
try{
// open in Facebook app
context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0);
return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://page/<profile_id>"));
} catch (Exception e) {
// open in browser
return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.facebook.com/<profile_id>"));
}
}

Facebook Link doesnt work android

Hello I just want to call Facebook app with the link below (on my android project):
String url_facebook_prixo = "https://www.facebook.com/pages/Prixo/468580313168290";
I tried this :
Uri uri = Uri.parse("facebook://facebook.com/page{468580313168290}");
Intent viewIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(viewIntent);
I tried with others link but its only displaying my wall..
Someone?

You should use the id to open the page.
Intent facebookIntent = new Intent(
Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("fb://profile/468580313168290"));
startActivity(facebookIntent);
I would advice you to encapsulate this in a try catch. Inside the catch open a normal browser intent
