Going from a List View to a Web View

I'm trying to figure out how to get from a List View to a Web View.

I have a list of different items, and depending on which item is selected I want to load a different URL for the Web View.

I cannot figure out how to do it in the same class because I cannot extend Activity and ListActivity.

I have tried making a switch statement depending on which list item was selected, and then assigning the URL and loading it in a different class, but that seems a little too complicated.

Is there an easier way to do this??

I think you did the right thing:

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    change(position);
}
void change(int position){
    Uri uri;
    switch(position){
       case 1:
          uri=Uri.parse(yourTextContaingUrl1);
       case 2:
          uri=Uri.parse(yourTextContaingUrl2);
       case 3:
          uri=Uri.parse(yourTextContaingUrl3);
    }
    intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
    startActivity(intent);
}

ListActivity extends Activity...

This will call WebView for given URL

Uri uri=Uri.parse(yourTextContaingUrl);
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
activity.startActivity(intent);
return true;
