Launch Instagram application from Firefox on Android

I'm building an HTML5 application that will be accessed via Firefox on an specific Android tablet. One of the main options is to share an image on Instagram.

For Apple devices we have the "instagram://" hooks, but they don't exist for Android. I've already read a lot about to use Intent, but I think it's not possible since it's an web app.

I need any solution to get out of my Firefox browser and show Instagram application. It's okay to minimize the browser and just go to the main Android screen.

Someone have any idea?

Thanks a lot.

If i understand your question I think this is what your are looking for

EDIT: taken from that site as an example

To launch the Zxing barcode scanner app, you encode your href on the anchor as follows:

<a href="intent://scan/#Intent;scheme=zxing;package=com.google.zxing.client.android;end">

Take a QR code See the Android Zxing Manifest, which defines the package and the host.
