Web browser by Action View

Hi Guys!

Today I am going to share the code for open web browser by action view in android.
In this article we will create an application which will open a user input website in a web browser. In order to open a web browser, we will create an intent object with ACTION_VIEW as action and data with �http� in the url. Since http request is invoked by the external browser, no explicit permission is needed for this application.

activity_main.xml

MainActivity.java

package com.sunil.browserview;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
	
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
        Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_browse);
        btn.setOnClickListener(this);
    }
			@Override
			public void onClick(View v) {
				EditText txt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.te_url);
		
				Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
			
				Uri data = Uri.parse("http://"+txt.getText().toString());
			
				intent.setData(data);
		
				startActivity(intent);
			
    }
}
