How to open broswer in my app?

Question

i'm just getting started with Android Studio. I want to know how can i access the broswer, giving it a certain URL (that in the future will be the IP address of an IP camera).

Use webview for this purpose. – Syed Hamza Hassan Apr 10 '18 at 14:26 — Syed Hamza Hassan, Apr 10 '18 at 14:26

You can do following:

Intent intent= new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://www.google.com"));
startActivity(intent);

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;

Can we maybe *not* copy answers wholesale from duplicate questions? Or at least reference the person who initially has given the answer? – M. Prokhorov Apr 11 '18 at 13:46
