Question: I'm just wondering how to fire up an Intent to the phone's browser to open an specific URL and display it.

Can someone please give me a hint?

Answer: 
The shortest version.

```
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com")));

```
From XML
--------

In case if you have the web-address/URL displayed on your view and you want it to make it clikable and direct user to particular website You can use:

```
android:autoLink="web"

```

In same way you can use different attributes of autoLink(email, phone, map, all) to accomplish your task...
