I am trying to load BROWSER VIEW intent in android within onTouchEvent
. Basically I have created a live wallpaper and if I click on it then I want to open BROWSER VIEW intent with a specified uri.
I have tried following code inside onTouchEvent
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
but I am getting the following error:
android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of
an Activitycontext requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?
Another approach is that I have create one activity and inside its onCreate
method I tried following code:
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
browser=new WebView(this);
setContentView(browser);
browser.loadUrl("http://commonsware.com");
}
and tried to load this activity via custom intent message as follows, but still I am getting the same error
Intent intent = new Intent(ACTION);
startActivity(intent);
// over here I have not used context, as while creating live wallpaper I
// don't know here to get the context
I have solved the problem on my own with the following code:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.setData(android.net.Uri.parse("http://www.gmail.com"));
startActivity(intent);
