Answer 1

To show a web page in your app, there are two ways to do it: use the default Browser of Android, or use a WebView. For the second one, you can do this:

WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
//you can load an html code 
webView.loadData("yourCode Html to load on the webView " , "text/html" , "utf-8");
// you can load an URL 
webView.loadUrl("http://www.stackoverflow.com");

layout XML :

In your layout Xml, define an WebView like this:

<WebView android:id="@+id/webView"
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
