Open page in Twitter app from other app - Android
This worked for me: twitter://user?user_id=id_num
Based on fg.radigales answer, this is what I used to launch the app if possible, but fall back to the browser otherwise:
Intent intent = null;
try {
// get the Twitter app if possible
this.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.twitter.android", 0);
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("twitter://user?user_id=USERID"));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
} catch (Exception e) {
// no Twitter app, revert to browser
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://twitter.com/PROFILENAME"));
}
this.startActivity(intent);
UPDATE
Added intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
to fix an issue where twitter was opening inside my app instead of as a new activity.
