import android.widget.Button;


public class IntentActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // Perform action on clicks
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
                startActivity(intent);
