Sending an Intent to browser to open specific URL [duplicate]

Question

I'm just wondering how to fire up an Intent to the phone's browser to open an specific URL and display it.

Can someone please give me a hint?

Answer 1

To open a URL/website you do the following:

String url = "http://www.example.com"; Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse(url)); startActivity(i); 

Here's the documentation of Intent.ACTION_VIEW.

Answer 2

The short version

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,      Uri.parse("http://almondmendoza.com/android-applications/"))); 

should work as well...
