        List<ResolveInfo> list = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent,
                PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);

        if (list.size() == 0) {
            final String urlBrowser = "http://www.linkedin.com/company/" + pageId;

I know that this is a few months ago, but I'm running into the same issue at the moment

After using APKTool to decrypt the app, I've found their deep linking information: Although the list has various items, the ones that are useful & functional are

you
profile/memberId
group/groupId

There appears to be no deep linking method for getting to companies, which seems a little strange, but it's how they've built it

I have tried jumping to the activity with setClassName(), but that always crashes as I don't think it's available from the outside

It appears as though the only way to properly get to a company pages is by using linkedin-j

I hope this helps someone
