I want to go to a web page on the click of a button in my Android app. So say, I have a button called "Google", when the user clicks on that button I want google.com to open up on the screen. How is this achieved?
Also, is there a way I can gain control back to my app once the user is finished with Google?
In your activity do something like this.
public void openWebURL( String inURL ) {
Intent browse = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_VIEW , Uri.parse( inURL ) );
startActivity( browse );
}
By default, quitting the browser should return to your activity. However, there may be situations where it will not.
This code will take you to the web page
public void goToWebPage(String yourUrl)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(yourUrl));
startActivity(intent);
}
