Need help with simple search function.

Hi FDisk,

You need the Phone library, which gives acces to your device's browser.

If your URL and search text are in variables or views (e.g. Url and Search) you can call :

B4X:

StartActivity (PhoneIntents.OpenBrowser(Url.Text & Search.Text))

and your browser will be opened with the requested page.

You can have at look at hxxp://www.b4x.com/android/help/phone.html#phoneintents_openbrowser]Basic4android - Phone

Click to expand...

Sub Globals
   Dim WebView1 As WebView
   Dim EditText1 As EditText
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Activity.LoadLayout("project1")
   WebView1.LoadUrl("hxxp://mysitehere.com")
End Sub

Sub Button5_Click
   WebView1.LoadUrl("hxxp://mysitehere.com/find.php?text="&EditText1.Text)
End Sub
