Is there any way to access a Facebook non-user page (ex: Musician, Product, etc) through an API through Android? I saw that there is a Facebook Android SDK but I haven't been able to figure out if this can be done.
Yes this can be done. Have a look at the Graph API docs from facebook. I don't have very much insight into exactly how this is done with Android but the SDK should have example code to get you on the right track.

Currently, I am making an Android app in which I need to integrate the complete Twitter app.
I went through Fabric website where I got to know that using the plugin in my app I could integrate Twitter App functionalities very easily.
I want to know if someone has used it.
Will it be really helpful in my case?
Does it give the same feel of the original Twitter app?
Does the plugin also provide UI(Twitter app UI) or do I have to make my own UI?
The twitter APIs and SDK is one of the most advanced and interesting ones i have ever used. It gives the real feel and look of twitter ( login, twitter lists). The SDK does most of the work for you. For example when you want to list tweets using List,the only thing you will need is to create a list view and a text view in your xml.
Initializing the sdk in your app is just less than 5 lines of code.
The console is easy to use as well. This will help you set up your app so fast.
For me i didnt feel like a programmer when using the SDK unlike when I am really struggling to use GMAIL APIs.
Go ahead and just do it.
Happy Coding.
I"m trying to implement facebook connect on a WebView. My problem is I couldn't figure out how to implement it.
As per the documentation I called the api as below
window.location.href="https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=148352165368959&redirect_uri=https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html&response_type=code%20token&scope=email,publish_actions"
It bring up the confirmation window etc etc but I'm not sure how to navigate back to application and how to get the information from the https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
I've gone through the Bbq plugin but documentation is hard for a newbie like me. Thanks for your time in advance.
can someone atlest point me to a tutorial?
If you wish to integrate Facebook with your Android application then use the Facebook SDK.
SDK- https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk
Reference- http://developers.facebook.com/android/
was just curious as to how I can go about reading Facebook status posts from a particular page through my Android application.
I looked into the Facebook API but that seems to be more related to making Facebook applications, which wasn't my intent.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a guide or link that will explain to me how to do this it will be much appreciated.
Well the whole idea of the Facebook API is so that you can call their functions to give you access to Facebook content. If you want to incorporate them into your Android Application, try using their Android SDK
I'm trying to redirect user to specific web page after log in. I'm using Android Facebook SDK. Full internet of examples how to post on user's wall, but I couldn't find any examples or advices how to redirect for example to my app fan page. I have analyzed SDK code - Facebook.java, I saw that they're using redirect_uri parameter, so I've tried to write this parameter myself, but I got only API error code (given URL is not allowed by the App configuration) or page not found message. Maybe I can't do it by using Android Facebook SDK and I need to use different tools, api? Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I don't know if you still have this problem now.
I'm not sure also if i understood your problem fully, but if you had the same problem that led me to this page (I wanted my android-application to call the browser at a specific page) this code will do the job.
PeladroidLiteActivity.this.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.peladroid.com")));
I have seen widgets and apps that show you status updates of your friends on facebook. Does anyone know if it is possible via a custom app to comment or like things from an app or is there no public API for functions of this nature.
Try looking at http://developers.facebook.com and that has all of the API documents you should need (look at Graph API, if that doesn't have it look at the legacy REST API). If there's something missing, request it using the bugzilla on that website.

Facebook have an SDK for Android, which your app can use to integrate with Facebook, and do the things you're describing
