Android Question Button Click Not Opening in Browser

DawningTruth · Mar 13, 2019

I am using the following code to open a browser when the user clicks on a button:

B4X:

Private p As PhoneIntents

Sub btnViewInBrowser_Click
        p.OpenBrowser("http://www.google.co.za")
End Sub

When I click on the button nothing happens. I have installed the Phone Library (Version 2.5)

Any suggestions?

Got it working. The corrected code should be:

B4X:

Private p As PhoneIntents

Sub btnViewInBrowser_Click
        StartActivity(p.OpenBrowser("http://www.google.co.za"))
End Sub

Does the general principle of using start activity apply to all intents?

An intent by itself does nothing. There are all kinds of ways to start intents and it depends on the intent target. In most cases intents should be started with StartActivity.
