You can fire a global intent that will be picked up by the browser

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

Also make sure to add the web permission to your manifest

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

Just make and Intent and set the link as uri to the intent. Then use the intent to start activity. Try this:

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://stackoverflow.com")));
