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 short version

```
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
    Uri.parse("http://almondmendoza.com/android-applications/")));

```

should work as well...
Use following snippet in your code

```
Intent newIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
Uri.parse("https://www.google.co.in/?gws_rd=cr"));
startActivity(newIntent);

```
