How to open an URL from code in the built-in web browser rather than within my application?
I tried this:
try {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(download_link));
startActivity(myIntent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "No application can handle this request."
+ " Please install a webbrowser", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}
but I got an Exception:
No activity found to handle Intent{action=android.intent.action.VIEW data =www.google.com
This question is related to
android
url
android-intent
android-browser
Just like the solutions other have written (that work fine), I would like to answer the same thing, but with a tip that I think most would prefer to use.
In case you wish the app you start to open in a new task, indepandant of your own, instead of staying on the same stack, you can use this code:
final Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(url));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
There is also a way to open the URL in Chrome Custom Tabs . Example in Kotlin :
@JvmStatic
fun openWebsite(activity: Activity, websiteUrl: String, useWebBrowserAppAsFallbackIfPossible: Boolean) {
var websiteUrl = websiteUrl
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(websiteUrl))
return
if (websiteUrl.startsWith("www"))
websiteUrl = "http://$websiteUrl"
else if (!websiteUrl.startsWith("http"))
websiteUrl = "http://www.$websiteUrl"
val finalWebsiteUrl = websiteUrl
//https://github.com/GoogleChrome/custom-tabs-client
val webviewFallback = object : CustomTabActivityHelper.CustomTabFallback {
override fun openUri(activity: Activity, uri: Uri?) {
var intent: Intent
if (useWebBrowserAppAsFallbackIfPossible) {
intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(finalWebsiteUrl))
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY
or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK)
if (!CollectionUtil.isEmpty(activity.packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0))) {
activity.startActivity(intent)
return
}
}
// open our own Activity to show the URL
intent = Intent(activity, WebViewActivity::class.java)
WebViewActivity.prepareIntent(intent, finalWebsiteUrl)
activity.startActivity(intent)
}
}
val uri = Uri.parse(finalWebsiteUrl)
val intentBuilder = CustomTabsIntent.Builder()
val customTabsIntent = intentBuilder.build()
customTabsIntent.intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY
or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK)
CustomTabActivityHelper.openCustomTab(activity, customTabsIntent, uri, webviewFallback)
}
Intent getWebPage = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(MyLink));
startActivity(getWebPage);
If you want to do this with XML not programmatically you can use on your TextView:
android:autoLink="web"
android:linksClickable="true"
Try this:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://www.google.com");
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri));
or if you want then web browser open in your activity then do like this:
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
WebSettings settings = webview.getSettings();
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl(URL);
and if you want to use zoom control in your browser then you can use:
settings.setSupportZoom(true);
settings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
Try this one OmegaIntentBuilder
OmegaIntentBuilder.from(context)
.web("Your url here")
.createIntentHandler()
.failToast("You don't have app for open urls")
.startActivity();
Kotlin Developers can use this
var webpage = Uri.parse(url)
if (!url.startsWith("http://") && !url.startsWith("https://")) {
webpage = Uri.parse("http://$url")
}
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, webpage)
if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
startActivity(intent)
}
You can see the official sample from Android Developer.
/**
* Open a web page of a specified URL
*
* @param url URL to open
*/
public void openWebPage(String url) {
Uri webpage = Uri.parse(url);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, webpage);
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(intent);
}
}
Please have a look at the constructor of Intent
:
public Intent (String action, Uri uri)
You can pass android.net.Uri
instance to the 2nd parameter, and a new Intent is created based on the given data url.
And then, simply call startActivity(Intent intent)
to start a new Activity, which is bundled with the Intent with the given URL.
if
check statement?Yes. The docs says:
If there are no apps on the device that can receive the implicit intent, your app will crash when it calls startActivity(). To first verify that an app exists to receive the intent, call resolveActivity() on your Intent object. If the result is non-null, there is at least one app that can handle the intent and it's safe to call startActivity(). If the result is null, you should not use the intent and, if possible, you should disable the feature that invokes the intent.
You can write in one line when creating the Intent instance like below:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
This way uses a method, to allow you to input any String instead of having a fixed input. This does save some lines of code if used a repeated amount of times, as you only need three lines to call the method.
public Intent getWebIntent(String url) {
//Make sure it is a valid URL before parsing the URL.
if(!url.contains("http://") && !url.contains("https://")){
//If it isn't, just add the HTTP protocol at the start of the URL.
url = "http://" + url;
}
//create the intent
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)/*And parse the valid URL. It doesn't need to be changed at this point, it we don't create an instance for it*/);
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
//Make sure there is an app to handle this intent
return intent;
}
//If there is no app, return null.
return null;
}
Using this method makes it universally usable. IT doesn't have to be placed in a specific activity, as you can use it like this:
Intent i = getWebIntent("google.com");
if(i != null)
startActivity();
Or if you want to start it outside an activity, you simply call startActivity on the activity instance:
Intent i = getWebIntent("google.com");
if(i != null)
activityInstance.startActivity(i);
As seen in both of these code blocks there is a null-check. This is as it returns null if there is no app to handle the intent.
This method defaults to HTTP if there is no protocol defined, as there are websites who don't have an SSL certificate(what you need for an HTTPS connection) and those will stop working if you attempt to use HTTPS and it isn't there. Any website can still force over to HTTPS, so those sides lands you at HTTPS either way
Because this method uses outside resources to display the page, there is no need for you to declare the INternet permission. The app that displays the webpage has to do that
In 2.3, I had better luck with
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse(url));
activity.startActivity(intent);
The difference being the use of Intent.ACTION_VIEW
rather than the String "android.intent.action.VIEW"
Check whether your url is correct. For me there was an unwanted space before url.
Okay,I checked every answer but what app has deeplinking with same URL that user want to use?
Today I got this case and answer is browserIntent.setPackage("browser_package_name");
e.g. :
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
browserIntent.setPackage("com.android.chrome"); // Whatever browser you are using
startActivity(browserIntent);
Thank you!
The response of MarkB is right. In my case I'm using Xamarin, and the code to use with C# and Xamarin is:
var uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse ("http://www.xamarin.com");
var intent = new Intent (Intent.ActionView, uri);
StartActivity (intent);
This information is taked from: https://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/android/fundamentals/intent/open_a_webpage_in_the_browser_application/
Within in your try block,paste the following code,Android Intent uses directly the link within the URI(Uniform Resource Identifier) braces in order to identify the location of your link.
You can try this:
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
startActivity(myIntent);
String url = "https://www.thandroid-mania.com/";
if (url.startsWith("https://") || url.startsWith("http://")) {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
}else{
Toast.makeText(mContext, "Invalid Url", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
That error occurred because of invalid URL, Android OS can't find action view for your data. So you have validate that the URL is valid or not.
I think this is the best
openBrowser(context, "http://www.google.com")
Put below code into global class
public static void openBrowser(Context context, String url) {
if (!url.startsWith("http://") && !url.startsWith("https://"))
url = "http://" + url;
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
context.startActivity(browserIntent);
}
android.webkit.URLUtil
has the method guessUrl(String)
working perfectly fine (even with file://
or data://
) since Api level 1
(Android 1.0). Use as:
String url = URLUtil.guessUrl(link);
// url.com -> http://url.com/ (adds http://)
// http://url -> http://url.com/ (adds .com)
// https://url -> https://url.com/ (adds .com)
// url -> http://www.url.com/ (adds http://www. and .com)
// http://www.url.com -> http://www.url.com/
// https://url.com -> https://url.com/
// file://dir/to/file -> file://dir/to/file
// data://dataline -> data://dataline
// content://test -> content://test
In the Activity call:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(URLUtil.guessUrl(download_link)));
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null)
startActivity(intent);
Check the complete guessUrl
code for more info.
From Anko library method
fun Context.browse(url: String, newTask: Boolean = false): Boolean {
try {
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
intent.data = Uri.parse(url)
if (newTask) {
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
}
startActivity(intent)
return true
} catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
e.printStackTrace()
return false
}
}
String url = "http://www.example.com";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);
Try this..Worked for me!

If you want to show user a dialogue with all browser list, so he can choose preferred, here is sample code:
private static final String HTTPS = "https://";
private static final String HTTP = "http://";
public static void openBrowser(final Context context, String url) {
if (!url.startsWith(HTTP) && !url.startsWith(HTTPS)) {
url = HTTP + url;
}
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Choose browser"));// Choose browser is arbitrary :)
}
//OnClick Listener
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String webUrl = news.getNewsURL();
if(webUrl!="")
Utils.intentWebURL(mContext, webUrl);
}
//Your Util Method
public static void intentWebURL(Context context, String url) {
if (!url.startsWith("http://") && !url.startsWith("https://")) {
url = "http://" + url;
}
boolean flag = isURL(url);
if (flag) {
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse(url));
context.startActivity(browserIntent);
}
}
dataWebView.setWebViewClient(new VbLinksWebClient() {
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView webView, String url) {
super.onPageFinished(webView, url);
}
});
public class VbLinksWebClient extends WebViewClient
{
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
{
view.getContext().startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url.trim())));
return true;
}
}
Chrome custom tabs are now available:
The first step is adding the Custom Tabs Support Library to your build.gradle file:
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.android.support:customtabs:24.2.0'
}
And then, to open a chrome custom tab:
String url = "https://www.google.pt/";
CustomTabsIntent.Builder builder = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder();
CustomTabsIntent customTabsIntent = builder.build();
customTabsIntent.launchUrl(this, Uri.parse(url));
For more info: https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/customtabs
So I've looked for this for a long time because all the other answers were opening default app for that link, but not default browser and that's what I wanted.
I finally managed to do so:
// gathering the default browser
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://"));
final ResolveInfo resolveInfo = context.getPackageManager()
.resolveActivity(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
String defaultBrowserPackageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
final Intent intent2 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent2.setData(Uri.parse(url));
if (!defaultBrowserPackageName.equals("android") {
// android = no default browser is set
// (android < 6 or fresh browser install or simply no default set)
// if it's the case (not in this block), it will just use normal way.
intent2.setPackage(defaultBrowserPackageName);
}
context.startActivity(intent2);
BTW, you can notice context
.whatever, because I've used this for a static util method, if you are doing this in an activity, it's not needed.
Webview can be used to load Url in your applicaion. URL can be provided from user in text view or you can hardcode it.
Also don't forget internet permissions in AndroidManifest.
String url="http://developer.android.com/index.html"
WebView wv=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
wv.setWebViewClient(new MyBrowser());
wv.getSettings().setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);
wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wv.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
wv.loadUrl(url);
private class MyBrowser extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
Kotlin
startActivity(Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply {
data = Uri.parse(your_link)
})
Simple and Best Practice
Method 1:
String intentUrl="www.google.com";
Intent webIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(intentUrl));
if(webIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager())!=null){
startActivity(webIntent);
}else{
/*show Error Toast
or
Open play store to download browser*/
}
Method 2:
try{
String intentUrl="www.google.com";
Intent webIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(intentUrl));
startActivity(webIntent);
}catch (ActivityNotFoundException e){
/*show Error Toast
or
Open play store to download browser*/
}
other option In Load Url in Same Application using Webview
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
String url = "http://www.stackoverflow.com";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse("http://www.stackoverflow.com"));
startActivity(intent);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.stackoverflow.com"));
startActivity(intent);
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.stackoverflow.com")));
happy coding!
Basic Introduction:
https:// is using that one into the "code" so that no one in between can read them. This keeps your information safe from hackers.
http:// is using just sharing purpose, it's not secured.

Android Manifest.Xml permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
You face Problems when implementing this:
You can also go this way
In xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
In java code :
public class WebViewActivity extends Activity {
private WebView webView;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
}
In Manifest dont forget to add internet permission...
Simply go with short one to open your Url in Browser:
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("YourUrlHere"));
startActivity(browserIntent);
val browserIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri)
ContextCompat.startActivity(context, browserIntent, null)
I have added an extension on Uri
to make this even easier
myUri.openInBrowser(context)
fun Uri?.openInBrowser(context: Context) {
this ?: return // Do nothing if uri is null
val browserIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, this)
ContextCompat.startActivity(context, browserIntent, null)
}
As a bonus, here is a simple extension function to safely convert a String to Uri.
"https://stackoverflow.com".asUri()?.openInBrowser(context)
fun String?.asUri(): Uri? {
try {
return Uri.parse(this)
} catch (e: Exception) {}
return null
}
Based on the answer by Mark B and the comments bellow:
protected void launchUrl(String url) {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
if (uri.getScheme() == null || uri.getScheme().isEmpty()) {
uri = Uri.parse("http://" + url);
}
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
if (browserIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(browserIntent);
}
}
A short code version...
if (!strUrl.startsWith("http://") && !strUrl.startsWith("https://")){
strUrl= "http://" + strUrl;
}
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(strUrl)));
Simple, website view via intent,
Intent viewIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse("http://www.yoursite.in"));
startActivity(viewIntent);
use this simple code toview your website in android app.
Add internet permission in manifest file,
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
