Android Follow google+ page directly through button - android

I want to put one button to follow my google plus page through click on that button, means when i click on Google+ button that automatically follow my page, i much goggling but not find
exact,so any one please help me to solve it.

Sorry ! There is no custom button for a Google+ following page.i think, i am using below code is useful for you. this code is directly open Google+ page and default follow button.
public void openGPlus(String profile) {
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.plus",
"com.google.android.apps.plus.phone.UrlGatewayActivity");
intent.putExtra("customAppUri", profile);
startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("https://plus.google.com/" + profile + "/posts")));
}
}
call this method such as openGPlush("numeric page id");

There is no native support for a Google+ follow button. See the documentation. There is however support for a +1 button as you can see here.
If you really want a Google+ follow button, you could theoretically use a WebView and put a Web API follow button inside, as documented here

how can i launch a app form other on Android

How I can launch a Twitter application from another Android application? For example, in my application I have some social buttons when I pushed the button of Twitter now gone to twitter page, but I want to launch the twitter application. How I can do that?
You need to use an intent, check here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html
You can try this:
try {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("twitter://user?screen_name=" + twitter_user_name)));
}catch (Exception e) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://twitter.com/#!/" + twitter_user_name)));
}
You should use an implict intent.you can read about it in general here,
and there is a more specific solution for you here

Open Facebook native app from your android app

My question is directly connected with this one Open Facebook page from Android app? Which answer (for the version at the moment) is not the marked one but this one
public static Intent newFacebookIntent(PackageManager pm, String url) {
Uri uri;
try {
pm.getPackageInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0);
// https://stackoverflow.com/a/24547437/1048340
uri = Uri.parse("fb://facewebmodal/f?href=" + url);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
uri = Uri.parse(url);
}
return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
}
Which is confirmed working last on 7th of February 2015.
My question is should you use the whole url (like www.facebook.com/mypage) or just add the url of the page so it'll be fb://facewebmodal/f?href=mypage. I tried both and it just opens the fb app without an actual page. It shows blank fb page on both tries.
Can someone give me an example with url for some public page that works?
You can try to write mypage as https://www.facebook.com/ID. The whole uri should then be
fb://facewebmodal/f?href=https://www.facebook.com/ID
and change ID to the page you want to visit.
That functionality is not documented or supported, so you may get unknown result. You may want to try passing the Page ID or Profile ID instead of names. You can get the ID by calling https://graph.facebook.com/<name> and parse the result.
I had the same issue. I searched for a while and tried all the answers on here Open facebook page from android app (in facebook version > v11) and there Open Facebook page from Android app?, finally I figured out what the real problem is. There is nothing wrong in the code, however the weird behavior is about facebook app itself. If the facebook app is on the background, it just switches back to the foreground without navigating to the requested page. You just swipe it out from the background (kill instances) and try your code again.
Considering most of the users leave facebook app on the background, this is some kind of an issue needs to be fixed. Although I think it is about the facebook app itself, somehow it can be related with the device. I'm using Nexus 6 with v 6.0.1 and had no chance to test it on another android versioned device.
i using this for my apps its working just fine, kotlin
try {
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://page/100674618166286"));
startActivity(intent);
} catch(e: Exception) {
startActivity( Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.facebook.com/iqtousd")));
}
Remember have a similar issue.
Try the mobile url :
instead of
String facebookUrl = "https://facebook.com/...";
use
String facebookUrl = "https://m.facebook.com/...";

Open page in Facebook,Twitter and Google Plus app from other app - Android

I'm working on an application where I need to integrate the social functionality of the different social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google+.
For now, in Facebook and Twitter i'm recognized if the user has a native application and if he does, I'm opening it and show him my fan page.
For Twitter I use the next code:
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("twitter://user?screen_name=[user_name]"));
startActivity(intent);
}catch (Exception e) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("https://twitter.com/#!/[user_name]")));
}
And for Facebook the next code:
try{
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("fb://profile/" + PROFILE_FACEBOOK_APP_ID));
startActivity(intent);
}catch(Exception e){
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.facebook.com/UserNamePage")));
}
Now I want to do the same thing for Google+. I saw that I can browse to my fan page with the next Url https://plus.google.com/MY_PAGE_ID/, but it keep asking me if I want to open it with Google+ application or with the browser, and I want that he will open it with the application automatically, without asking the user.
Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks.
Found a solution:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.plus",
"com.google.android.apps.plus.phone.UrlGatewayActivity");
intent.putExtra("customAppUri", "FAN_PAGE_ID");
startActivity(intent);
I think this is quite safe, because we do not need to specify the component, just the google+ app package name:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://plus.google.com/[Google+ID]/"));
intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.plus"); // don't open the browser, make sure it opens in Google+ app
startActivity(intent);
Unknown if google plus needs some other information in the Intent but as general Android solution you can explicitly set the target. You will need the package name of google+.
More info here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#setPackage%28java.lang.String%29
For example:
Intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.plus"); //Don't know the exact package name

Share via Google+..dialog complete action with shown

hi everybody i've a little problem..i'm trying to share a text using google plus app, but the lastest version give me a problem.
when i call with an intent "com.google.android.apps.plus", android display me this dialog
so if i choose the first one, text will be shared correctly, but the second one do nothing.
if the app is not intalled i redirect the user to the market, at g+ download page (this work fine)
if (v == plus) {
social(2);
targetedShareIntent.putExtra(
android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, user);
targetedShareIntent
.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.plus");
startActivity(targetedShareIntent);
}
"v" is a button and social check if app is installed
any sugestion?
both options open google+ application?
I suppose show two options because google+ app have two activities with category.LAUNCHER.... the app and the chat app
PSDT: sorry for my bad english!
I was able to get the G+ dialog to launch with the following code (after querying the package manager to make sure the app was actually installed and passing in the currentContext as a parameter):
Intent appIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
String shareText = "Share text goes here";
appIntent.setType("text/plain");
appIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, shareText);
//Filters so only the G+ app will launch
appIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.plus");
try {
currentContext.startActivity(appIntent);
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Log.d(e.getMessage());
}
Drove me bananas figuring this out, so I figured I'd try to save someone else the hassle.

Global search box extension - how to make browser to start when suggestion picked

I'm implementing global search box extension (sth like SearchableDictionary sample in android sdk). Everything works fine - suggestions are displayed properly. Problem is that I want browser to start when user picks a suggestion. (each suggestion is a link)
Columns of my cursor contain SearchManager.SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_DATA, and I use that to pass http link. My searchable xml contains default intent action set to: android:searchSuggestIntentAction="android.intent.action.VIEW". But when user hits the suggestion, my application is started instead of browser. What am I missing?
Regards!
You need to implement the search in the same app i.e Browser in your example. The SearchManager can only send intent to the current activity.
Btw, try to catch that intent which will be generated when the search item is selected and then open the browser from your activity.
Try to use this code. Rewrote the showResults function in the Searchable Dictionary sample code.
private void showResults(String query) {
Intent myIntent;
myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(query));
startActivity(myIntent);
finish();
}
