Android intent to open user's preferred browser

Question

I\'ve been trying to find out how to create an intent that will open the user\'s preferred browser without specifying the URL. I know how to open it by giving a specific URL

Answer 1

Here's how I did it:

String packageName = "com.android.browser"; 
String className = "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"; 
Intent internetIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
internetIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); 
internetIntent.setClassName(packageName, className); 
mHomeActivity.startActivity(internetIntent);

If you have no homepage set, it'll open a blank page (at least in Android 2.1).
