How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can do it with an ACTION_VIEW Intent --

Uri myUri = Uri.parse("http://www.whereever.com/");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(myUri);
startActivity(intent);

If you want to do it on a button click, you will need to put it in the onClick method of your onClickListener .
