I have a Webapp from where you can access Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin.
I would like that if you are accessing from a mobile device, if you have the Facebook app installed, the link should be opened in the app and not in the web browser.
I have found the URL Scheme in iOS and FB, TW
fb://[your path here]
twitter://[your path here]
but not for Linkedin (iOS) or any of this for Android.
I have google a lot but I have not found anything, and of course I have not access to the Android or iPhone apps to define the cutom URL Scheme...
First of all you have to check an app(facebook/twitter/linkedin) has been installed or not. If it is installed you can call url via webview instead of webbrowser from your application

If the user is directed to the fallback link e.g. a website on their computer browser.
Which has download links for iOS or Android, is it possible to generate these links to pass the parameter from the website URL they were directed to down to the app?
This would allow parameters from the dynamic link which went to fallback url to still goto the app once installed on the users mobile?
How to filter an android browser and than redirect to other website?
My website looks badly on android browser, and I would like to redirect an android browser users to other version of Web page.
How can I do that?
I've been reading on deep linking and App Links and such.
I was just wondering if it was possible on Android to simply share a URL of a Facebook Profile or Album on say WhatsApp or Telegram and get it to open in the native FB app instead of in the browser.
If not possible, why is this so?
Sean, the reason why this is not possible is because Facebook does not implement AppLinks. This means, there's no metadata on someone's profile URL so when shared, it is automatically handled by the Facebook Native Application.
Is it possible to Open a Facebook Web App into native facebook app from any browser?
I have a mobile website where I need to place a button "Launch Facebook App".. When user click this button, I want to open my mobile web app inside native facebook app.. I've tried few scheme like fb:// but it only opens up the facebook app in iphone.
Summary: No it is not possible to open a mobile web app into the native facebook app's webview.
On iOS there are some unofficial URL schemes available to open the native facebook app (and some special pages) via a simple browser link, e.g.:
Your FB Profile

Apparently there is no URL to open a web app into the webview of the native facebook app.
On Android there is no possibility at all to open the native facebook app via the browser.
I made an android app on facebook developers.com.
In the Mobile Web Url field I gave http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=352658298145952 which is what I wanted to be the URL of the app
Now I am opening the app and it says Web Page not Found :/
Help is always appreciated !
The mobile web URL is supposed to be the URL that your mobile website is hosted at. You've listed the old, deprecated, App Profile Page link - this will redirect to the canvas or website URL for your site.
Change the value to be where your mobile web content is hosted.
You cannot load Canvas Apps on a mobile device using this setting. You should link to a mobile version of your website instead.
