Opening Browser in Android

I tried to open link in a browser in JavaScriptInterface but it seems it didn't work. What the problem with the code below:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;

public class JavaScriptInterface extends Activity{

    Context mContext;
    JavaScriptInterface(Context c) {
        mContext = c;
    }

    public void openLink(){

        Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri));

    }

}

I already have the required permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

I don't know why are you extending an Activity. Though you are initializing mContext in the constructor, it will never be used for startActivity().

You may want to code like:

public class JavaScriptInterface {
    Context mContext;

    JavaScriptInterface(Context c) {
        mContext = c;
    }

    public void openLink(){
        Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");
        mContext.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri));
    }
}

(not extending an Activity, and calling startActivity() in mContext)

BTW, you don't need the permission android.permission.INTERNET to invoke this intent. You need it for a WebView, may be.
