I am new to android development and i want to make an app just to show posts from specific facebook page,it,s like a fan page app. I searched a lot on the internet never find anything, i only found one question similar to mine here but no answers :(

Note: i don't want to use the webView because i don't want the user be able to enter urls.

Thanks in advance

To get posts from a specific page in your app, all you have to do is issue a GET on PAGE_ID/feed. For example, to see the posts my Page, InstaWifi, has made, you can click on this link here to see what the response would look like:


Once you receive this JSON, you can parse it to display the content in your app.

Thank you that could help but if i want to use it in my app i have to use the facebook SDK right ? another question can i do this without entering access token ? because i don't want to force the user to login to use the app –  AlaaL Nov 7 '12 at 7:30
Yes, you have to use the Facebook SDK, and yes you have to have an access token to access this information. Unfortunately there is no other way, does that answer your question? –  Jesse Chen Nov 7 '12 at 8:13
Not really because i don't want to force the user to login an app like what i am talking about, it's for news page on faceook, and you don't have to login or anything mediafire.com/?icp81ad25c1nw77 –  AlaaL Nov 7 '12 at 11:34
Well that's too bad. The answer remains the same regardless, you need a valid access token in order to get the posts from a FB Page and to get one you have to use the Facebook SDK. –  Jesse Chen Nov 7 '12 at 19:42
Thank you Jesse if there is no other answer in tow days i will accept yours –  AlaaL Nov 7 '12 at 20:59

You can do this

Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.facebook.com/stackoverflowpage"));

Don't forget to add permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
