See Question&Answers more detail:osIf you are talking about an RCP app, then what you need is the SWT link
widget.
Here is the official link event handler snippet.
Update
Here is minimalist android application to connect to either superuser or stackoverflow with 2 buttons.
package ap.android;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
public class LinkButtons extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
public void goToSo (View view) {
goToUrl ( "http://stackoverflow.com/");
}
public void goToSu (View view) {
goToUrl ( "http://superuser.com/");
}
private void goToUrl (String url) {
Uri uriUrl = Uri.parse(url);
Intent launchBrowser = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uriUrl);
startActivity(launchBrowser);
}
}
And here is the layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/select" />
<Button android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:clickable="true" android:autoLink="web" android:cursorVisible="true" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:id="@+id/button_so" android:text="StackOverflow" android:linksClickable="true" android:onClick="goToSo"></Button>
<Button android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:text="SuperUser" android:autoLink="web" android:clickable="true" android:id="@+id/button_su" android:onClick="goToSu"></Button>
</LinearLayout>
