Need help opening a url in the phone's default browser

I'm trying to make test-program that opens a website by pushing a button. I have made a listener and everything, my problem is just that, the url-opening-script makes an error and tells me "Uri cannot be resolved". Here's the script I use to open up an webpage:

Intent browserIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW",Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));  
startActivity(browserIntent);

I have the import android.app.Activity;, import android.content.Intent; and import android.content.ContentUris; (maybe the last one isn't needed) so I can't find out what's wrong...

I hope someone knows what I've done wrong, or forgot to import...

P.S. I've used this pages to get to where I am:

How can I open a URL in Android's web browser from my application?

try this
String url = "http://www.google.com";
                Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                startActivity(i);

if you want import class then Click CTRL+Sift+O to import all required packages in eclipse.

Import the Uri class. If you are using Eclipse you can hit ctrl-shift-o to add needed imports, and remove unused ones.
