Android How to open up a browser window from an activity with URL?

How do I open up browser window within my activity. Ideally I would like them to stay inside my app with some type of embedded webkit activity view? How can this be done?

Hmmm if you just want to present the link inside a TextView, you can use a span to make the links clickable (it will be handled with the browser, clicking back will go back to the activity that contains the link):

  URLSpan span = new URLSpan(url);
  textView.getText().setSpan(span, start, end, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

If you're rendering content with links, you might want to look into the Linkfy class.

If I understood correctly, you can use Web View
Here you can find a tutorial on doing that.
