Open Google Plus Page Via Intent In Android

I have a Google Plus page https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/101839105638971401281/101839105638971401281/posts and an Android application. I want to open this page in my app. I don't

Solution 1:

If the user has the Google+ app installed, you can do this:

startActivity(newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://plus.google.com/101839105638971401281/posts")));

Notice the syntax of the URI, and that it doesn't contain /b/id/.

Solution 2:

You have to first check that user already has G+ App in his/her phone or not ? If yes then we can start it by specific intent or we can use browser redirection to specific page.

Here's one method in such flow,

publicvoidopenGPlus(String profile) {
    try {
        Intent intent = newIntent(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(newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://plus.google.com/"+profile+"/posts")));
    }
}

Now you can call this method simply like,

//117004778634926368759is my google plus id
openGPlus("117004778634926368759");

Extended Answer : Same way for twitter and facebook you can use,

For Twitter,

publicvoidopenTwtr(String twtrName) {
        try {
           startActivity(newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("twitter://user?screen_name=" + twtrName)));
        } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
           startActivity(newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("https://twitter.com/#!/" + twtrName)));
        }
}

And For Facebook,

publicvoidopenFB(String facebookId) {
    try{
        StringfacebookScheme="fb://profile/" + facebookId;
        IntentfacebookIntent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(facebookScheme));
        startActivity(facebookIntent);
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
        IntentfacebookIntent=newIntent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id="+facebookId));
        startActivity(facebookIntent);
    }
}

Solution 3:

/**
 * Intent to open the official Google+ app to the user's profile. If the Google+ app is not
 * installed then the Web Browser will be used.
 * 
 * </br></br>Example usage:</br>
 * <code>newGooglePlusIntent(context.getPackageManager(), "https://plus.google.com/+JaredRummler");</code>
 * 
 * @param pm
 *            The {@link PackageManager}.
 * @param url
 *            The URL to the user's Google+ profile.
 * @return The intent to open the Google+ app to the user's profile.
 */publicstatic Intent newGooglePlusIntent(PackageManager pm, String url) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
    try {
        if (pm.getPackageInfo("com.google.android.apps.plus", 0) != null) {
            intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.plus");
        }
    } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
    }
    return intent;
}

Solution 4:

What does the stack trace say when it crashes?

Also I'm not sure if this would make a difference but there's a typo in the ID. You wrote:

intent.putExtra("customAppUri", "10183910563897140128");

but originally the ID was 101839105638971401281. You left off the 1 at the end.

Solution 5:

Why not just Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)); . Android OS queries all Applications that can handle a specific Uri. Google+, as an app, is programmed to be able to handle the Uri you are requesting. So it will show up as an option in a chooser (or just go to it if the user has already selected the Google+ app to be default for that Uri.
