Question

I’m using Facebook connect for request credentials to the user’s information.
I’m doing it from the web browser.
If the user is using a mobile (Android/Iphone) device, all the authorization process goes inside the browser.

Is it possible to raise the Facebook application (if it’s already installed) and pass all the authorization process there? instead of keep using the browser (to improve the user experience).

I can detect if the user is coming from a mobile device (by his user-agent for example), maybe I can add some special url schema to raise the Facebook application?

Thanks,
Itay.

For iPhone: try to see with openURL function. See this article for more information to launch Facebook app
