Google Search Engine in AddressBar of Android Application

Question

Is possible to use the "Google" Search Engine, with tips in my Browser Application in Android? I'm developing a browser, that search for contents in an EditText (used as addressbar), but only by an URL instead of a word. Is possible to make this, detecting when user is searching for an url? Thanks in advance.

Solved by coding this:

public static final String SEARCH_ENGINE_GOOGLE = "https://www.google.com/search?q=";

    mUrlView.setOnEditorActionListener(new EditText.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
                //   submit_btn.performClick();

                if (mUrlView.getText().toString().contains("http://")) {
                    mWebView.loadUrl(mUrlView.getText().toString());
                } else if (mUrlView.getText().toString().contains(".")) {


                    mWebView.loadUrl("http://" + mUrlView.getText().toString());


                } else {
                    mWebView.loadUrl(SEARCH_ENGINE_GOOGLE + mUrlView.getText().toString());

                }

                return true;


            } else {
                mWebView.loadUrl(mUrlView.getText().toString());

                return false;
            }
        }
    });


    return v;


}

By adding the Google search prefix if the text in the TextBox doesn't contains any dot or http://
