Answer 1

I assume you’re launching your Intent using a url like

http://www.google.com

Instead, you can use

http://www.google.com/search?q=myParam

where myParam is the thing you’re searching for.

You can get this text from an EditText like this

mEdit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext);
String myParam = mEdit.getText().toString();

Then you can set your url in the Intent you launch to be

String intentURL = "http://www.google.com/search?q=" + myParam;

To search for multiple parameters, separate them using ‘+’s. E.g.

http://www.google.com/search?q=myParam+myParam2
