This line should open your embedded browser with the specified URL:

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

      

Your activity should have the following elements:



//define class variables here
Button btn;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    //some code of yours
    btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
    btn.setOnClickListener(this);
    //more code of yours
}

//whatever else you have in your source code

public void onClick(View v)
{
    //handle the click events here, in this case open www.google.com with the default browser
    startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri.parse("http://www.google.com")));
}

      

It may not be 100% accurate syntax as I just wrote it myself, but you get the idea.

You can do it with Rebol 3, it's easy:

REBOL [] 
load-gui 
view [button "Go" on-action [browse http://msn.com]]

      



It is a fully functional GUI program that runs on Android AND on the desktop using the same code across all platforms. Take a look at:

Just create one WebView in xml

<WebView
android:id="@+id/web_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1.0" />

      

Here is some simple Java code for that

String URL="www.gtumca.co.cc";
WebView wv=(WebView)findViewById(R.layout.web_view);

onClick()
{
    wv.loadUrl(URL);
}
