Open Instagram user profile on android

Question

i am making a social media networking app and users can connect their social media to it.. I'd like to open Instagram account directly in their official Android app  but I can't do it.

However, there is a page on their developer site about the exact same feature on iOS but this doesn't seem to work on Android.

Everything I found on the web only suggests various ways to open links in a browser. Any input?

Answer 1

To open instagram app-

String scheme = "http://instagram.com/_u/USER";
String path = "https://instagram.com/USER";
String nomPackageInfo ="com.instagram.android";
    try {
        activate.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(nomPackageInfo, 0);
        intentAiguilleur = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(scheme));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            intentAiguilleur = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(path));
        }
        activate.startActivity(intentAiguilleur); 

// Use this link to open directly a picture
  String scheme = "http://instagram.com/_p/PICTURE";
