Question

I’m useing a listView to list some webpages. I’d like to have the webpage open when it’s clicked on in the listView.

I’m trying to get some of the “text” from the list item sent to the uri for opening the webpage. I hope this makes sence to everyone.

I’m just learning so any help would be great.

Something like this?

Uri uri =Uri.parse(***text form list item selected***)

Thanks,

You are going to want to implement an OnItemClickListener() for your ListView and use the information in your Adapter to construct your Uri. From there you can launch an activity with your Uri and the action as ACTION_VIEW to open a webpage.

Assuming you have your list populated properly you should be looking at attaching an OnItemClickListener that looks roughly like this.

new OnItemClickListener(){
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {        
        String someJunk = parent.getItemAtPosition(position)
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,new Uri.parse(someJunk)));        
        }        
}
