I'm trying to create a HTML link that shares a text through the Facebook app using URL scheme. This link will be accessed by mobile, Android and iOS.
Share
When I click this link on my Android phone, the Facebook app opens but does nothing! What is wrong here?
The Facebook URL Schemes shift a lot, and their functionality is generally not well documented. There was an attempt to catalog them at
What are all the custom URL schemes supported by the Facebook iPhone app?
If you can settle for opening the dialog in the browser, you can use the Share Dialog:

While I'm well aware there is no API to directly post content to instagram, many apps I've seen have found a workaround through using the Instagram Sharing to Feed functionality via Android Implicit Intents and iOS Custom URL Schemes or Document Interaction.
My question is, would it be possible to create the same UX on a mobile website? The idea would be that user would click a App Link in their mobile web browser that opens their instagram app to share the content.
I am using Branch.io link to open my facebook page in the android app. If app is installed then open app otherwise redirect to facebook page in the browser. I am using this link in emails signature.
Currently, the link opening the facebook app in android & but opens the default facebook user newsfeed not my page. It's working fine in iOS.
I'm using the following format to open the facebook.
fb://page/?id=my_facebook_page_id
If it is working in iOS then why not in Android. Please help.
P.S.
fb://page/my_facebook_page_id seems to work
Please note that this is not the recommended method for deep linking as this URL scheme isn't officially listed on any of Facebook's documentation. This is a hacky solution based on answers to other similar questions on StackOverflow. [Reference- What are all the custom URL schemes supported by the Facebook iPhone app? ]
We're trying to use an Uber universal link in a WebView on Android.
Following the affiliate program page documentation (here), we're using a link like this: https://m.uber.com/ul/?client_id=.
When we load that url in a WebView with a WebViewClient on a device that doesn't have the Uber app, it tries to redirect to the app using its url scheme (uber://?client_id=xxxx). This doesn't work, because the app is not installed.
However, when we load that url in Chrome, it brings us to the "Open Play Store" page. That is the desired behaviour.
Is there a way to make this work in a WebView?
According to Uber Documentation, using m.uber.com links in a WebView is considered as common mistake. Instead, open links using mobile browser.

I have a web page that contains a Facebook share button.
The link it shares is in following format:
www.example.com/index?id=1234&info=56789
This link is shared using Facebook plugin share button. On desktop browsers it works fine but on Android (chrome browser), when clicking the share button , the Facebook app is opened and only "www.example.com/index?id=1234" part of the link is sent to the app for sharing.
I replaced the "&" with "%26" and it fixed it, but it breaks when sharing using on desktop.
Did any one had the same problem and know the solution for this?
