Dim FacebookPage As Intent

     fURI = "https://www.facebook.com/agronote/"
     FacebookPage.Initialize(FacebookPage.ACTION_VIEW,fURI)
     StartActivity (FacebookPage)

When i run that the programm opens the brower, how i can open the user facebook application instead?

Try this:

Sub Activity_Click
   Dim fURI As String =  "https://www.facebook.com/agronote/"
   Dim in As Intent
   in.Initialize(in.ACTION_VIEW, "fb://facewebmodal/f?href=" & fURI)
   Try
     StartActivity(in)
   Catch
     Log(LastException)
     Dim FacebookPage As Intent
     FacebookPage.Initialize(FacebookPage.ACTION_VIEW,fURI)
     StartActivity (FacebookPage)
   End Try
End Sub

It is based on this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-page-in-facebook-app-if-installed-on-android
