How can I launch Instagram app on button click Android Studio

I just want to open Instagram application on button click (if installed) on minimum API 16.

What I am trying is:

Intent likeIng = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

likeIng.setPackage("com.instagram.android");

try {
    startActivity(likeIng);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {

    Toast.makeText(this,"Instagram Not Installed!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

But when running on a phone where Instagram is installed, it's not launching it.

use this. I already used this.

Intent i = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.instagram.android");
    startActivity(i);

Try this method:

private void callInstagram() {        
    String apppackage = "com.instagram.android";
    Context cx=this;
    try {
        Intent i = cx.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(apppackage);
        cx.startActivity(i);
    } catch (Exception  e) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Sorry, Instagram Apps Not Found", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

}

pass this this Uri to your intent. 

Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://instagram.com/_u/YOUR_USERNAME");


Intent i= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,uri);

i.setPackage("com.instagram.android");

try {
    startActivity(i);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {

   startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
            Uri.parse("http://instagram.com/xxx")));
}
