String Search Android

I have a ListView with some info like Eifell Tower, Louvre and places like that. What i want to do is to search on Wikipedia and Youtube for this text. For instance i click on Louvre and than an i have the option to choose to search on wiki or on youtube. I already create the two options to search in wiki and you. But i don't know the code to search using for instance the string "Louvre" and use to search in wikipedia and youtube. Also i have to make a webview to cover this up.

Thanks and sorry for my English

To search on wikipedia/youtube, you can use their respective search urls:

wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=searchterms

where searchterms is of the form: term1+term2+...

Example search for html ide:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=html+ide

Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=searchterms

same thing as wikipedia for searchterms.

Example search for android tutorial:

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=android+tutorial

WebView:

To create a webview: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-webview.html

To open url from within your application: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2201917/android-open-url-from-code
