To get count of Likes for some URL you can use this code:

NSString *likesRequestURL = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=SELECT+total_count,+url+FROM+link_stat+WHERE+url+=\"%@\"&access_token=%@", URL, FBSession.activeSession.accessTokenData.accessToken] stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:likesRequestURL]
                                                           cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData
                                                       timeoutInterval:60.0f];

    __block NSString *result = [NSString string];

    [NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
                           completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {

                               if (error == nil) {
                                   NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
                                   SBJsonParser *jsonParser = [[[SBJsonParser alloc] init] autorelease];
                                   result = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [[[[jsonParser objectWithString:jsonString] objectForKey:@"data"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"total_count"]];
                                   [jsonString release];
                               } else {
                                   NSLog(@"Error = %@", error);
                               }
                           }];

Note. In this case was used SBJSONParser, you can use it or replace by something else, just slightly change corresponding code.

Now you can to create fully customized like-button.

Ok, this is from working project:

NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:URL, @"object", nil];

  if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {
    if (FBSession.activeSession.accessTokenData.accessToken) {
      [FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:@"/me/og.likes"
                                   parameters:params
                                   HTTPMethod:@"POST"
                            completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) { }];
    } else NSLog(@"FBSession.activeSession.accessToken IS NULL");
  }

URL is the URL of object what you want to like. There's no code for completionHandler block and for FB-authentification, I hope you can do it as you need.

It's not right. There is a way to realize Like feature not with UIWebView bit with FBRequestConnection. If you want to use UIWebView - colleague Shan gives right answer, but if you want to use another way - let me to know.
