Android Question Button Click Not Opening in Browser

[DawningTruth]

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

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:

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?

 

[Erel]

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.
