Why does my app skips the startActivity method?

Question

I am pretty new to this and i was trying to create a button that opens up Google in browser:

    Button googleBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.googleBtn);
    googleBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            String google = "https://www.google.com";
            Uri webaddress = Uri.parse(google);

            Intent gotoGoogle = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, webaddress);
            if (gotoGoogle.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null){
                startActivity(gotoGoogle);
            }
        }
    });

It seems like the value i get in the if statement is null so the app skips the startActivity method. (i tried running it on an emulator and on my phone).
