First on onActivityResult of your QR Code scanning, you can check either result is a valid URL. If the is a valid URL, start your Intent to show your default Browser with that link.

For Android you can mark an Intent after scanning QRCode from device

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

Must check link is correct or not.

if (!url.startsWith("http://") && !url.startsWith("https://"))
   url = "http://" + url;

It doesn't matter if it's from a QR Code or not. Get the string in the QR Code, check if it's a valid URL and start a new intent.

public void openWebPage(String url) {
    Uri webpage = Uri.parse(url);
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, webpage);
    if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

See documentation here
