Answer 1

Possible because may be there is no any activity like com.android.browser.BrowserActivity in those devices, Its depends on device manufacturer How they implement the native Browser Application (Activity Name and Package name).

So the possible solution is,

Using PackageManger and Intent you can check for specific intent category like, Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE is available for any application if available then set that application to ComponentName.

Or, You don't specify component name, like,

browserIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.browser", "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"));

let user have to choose, which Activity will open this page,

So just code is,

Uri uri = Uri.parse(filePath);
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
browserIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "text/html");
browserIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
context.startActivity(browserIntent);
