Maybe, if you are here, it means that you already tried to launch the Facebook URL of a page failing because the browser is launched instead of the native app.
Well, to open the Facebook app on a specific page it’s quite simple if you know the correct way.
First of all you can use the launchUrlString() method of the url_launcher() package (launch() is deprecated since v6.1.0).
The URL must be in this form: “fb://page/page_id” where page_id is the numeric id of the Facebook page.
To discover the id you can simply use the following script:
So the method call should be something like this:
launchUrlString("fb://page/510641739115082");
String pageid = "510641739115082"; Padding( padding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 20.0), child: IconButton( icon: Icon(FontAwesomeIcons.facebook, color: Theme .of(context) .buttonColor, size: 40.0), onPressed: () { String facebookApp = "fb://page/${pageid}"; canLaunchUrlString(facebookApp).then((canLaunch) { if (canLaunch) { launchUrlString(facebookApp); } else { // Do something else } }); }); }, ), )
…and the app will be launched 🙂
Happy coding!
