How can I open a URL in Android’s web browser from my application?
Try this: Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(“http://www.google.com”)); startActivity(browserIntent); That works fine for me. As for the missing “http://” I’d just do something like this: if (!url.startsWith(“http://”) && !url.startsWith(“https://”)) url = “http://” + url; I would also probably pre-populate your EditText that the user is typing a URL in with “http://”.
