I'm having a small issue with Facebook on Android. However, I think it's an issue with Android itself, not the app. When I get an email from Facebook, and I click the link, my browser opens and takes to the Facebook page and asks me to log in. Why doesn't it open the link using my Facebook app? It doesn't even ask me which app to use, browser or Facebook (eg. if I have two different gallery apps, and I want to view a picture, it asks me which gallery app to use, and lets me set one as default at the same time). Is there any way to make Facebook links open the Facebook app, instead of launching the browser (or to have it ask me like it does with other apps)? The whole point of the Facebook app is so I don't need to use the browser to view Facebook.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Has anyone managed to get the gmail web application running in offline mode on the Hero?
CHeers,

Gmail Browser vs. Gmail App
Not sure, anyone understood my question.
I personally think that the Gmail App is actually completely obsolete. Especially when you think that it doesn't allow you to download certain attachments.
The mobile browser gmail interface is - amazing. So why have an extra application running when you can only login to gmail offline with your browser? Since the Gmail App is not integrated into the TouchFlo interface anyways?
The questions remains, why the mobile browser interface (after you click on the "faster gmail" link is not doing what it is supposed to be doing aside from having an entry mail.google.com in the gears settings of your browser?
I use Google Apps for Domains. I hadn't tried to log into my mail via the web browser, but I just tried it today.
When I logged in, I was given a message that an update was available that would was faster and would allow me to compose and read email offline. I accepted the update, which appears to be a Gears update, so it looks like it is probably working fine.
Regards,
Dave

I did the same thing and when you look into your advanced browser settings you can see that gears now seems to be configured for mail.google.com. The questions remains though, if you can login offline to your apps or non-apps gmail account? I haven't been able to....
I hope this is the right place for this. I've done some searching and have found nothing.
Is there a way to have Facebook links (like from an email) open in Facebook for Android instead of the browser? I've seen the same type of thing discussed about YouTube.
No, that's up to the developers of the facebook application.
I know the thread is old but i have the same problem right now, facebook links promote to open only with browser and not the facebook app.
Is the problem in me ?
Hi, I don't get to see the Gmail app in desktop Mode? Is that right? Also, I use my personal phone for work and have G-suite and Google apps duplicated as personal and work (seperate) I can't see any of these either? Is there any way of getting any of this to the Desktop? Thanks.
I have same problem and I find a way to open it....
First open destkop mode and search gmail in chrome, google said gmail already installed. Then click the link in google and Gmail app open in desktop mode..........
Hi, yes thanks. Another way is to open the notifications and if you click on a Gmail notification it opens directly as well. You can then pin Gmail to the Task Bar and it is always available then. Same with the other Google apps that don't appear for some reason (Calendar, etc...). One caveat, if you are using G Suite and have a work Gmail, then no mater what the pinned Gmail icon will only open your personal email. You can open the work ones form notifications though.
Hi guys, there is a hard and kinda wierd one, but hopefully someone will be able to figure this out.
I'm using Huawei Y6 2017. Now I'm not too sure is this specific to this phone or it's more a general android app querry. If so, can admins please move this to correct place.
You know how some games or apps uses facebook account to sign in if you want to link it? Now If I have the example game installed, when I click to facebook sign in, a popup window shows allowing me to enter facebook mail and password. Which is fine. I would really like to keep it like this, but if I install a real facebook app, and use the same game, instead of popup window, game opens real facebook app. Now question is, is there a way how I can force a game to still use a popup log in, rather than facebook app without me having to delete real facebook app. Else, to force a game to use Facebook Lite app for signing in rather than main facebook app. Am I making any sense?
To explain why I need this, is becasue I have multiple facebook accounts. And on my main account I have disabled gaming platform fully. For games, I have another account and I have loged that one on Facebook Lite app, because my model doesn't support multiple facebook apps. Facebook app itself does supports multiple accounts, but that is kinda wierd as If i switch the facebook account in game, it switches in app as well, and when I return my main acc in app, game switches as well. I don't want to be switcing accounts all the time, as it's not convenient. Other reason is if i have single account registered only in my main facebook app, it doesn't offer me an option to login with another account or logout tempoary of current without saving that account in the app. It always forces game to use that single account which is loged in on facebook app.
Thank you all brainers out there who don't mind speding time to be looking into this.
Cheers to all!

Try cloning the Facebook app and begin from there. If successful in opening another account, you should be able to create multiple clones of the app until your heart is content.
