Start Google search query from activity - Android

Question

I was wondering if there is an easier way (or any way) to start a Browser with a Google search query. For example user can select a certain word or phrase and click a button

Answer 1

I recently tried this. This appears to work fine. If any modifications to be done let me know as I am new to android development.

mEdit   = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);

in your click view,

String q = mEdit.getText().toString();
                        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_WEB_SEARCH );
                        intent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, q);
                        startActivity(intent);
