Start the android browser

I check some reference I use below code to call Default Browser in main activity.

        Intent intent= new Intent();        
        intent.setAction("android.intent.action.VIEW");    
        Uri content_url = Uri.parse("www.baidu.com");   
        intent.setData(content_url);           
        intent.setClassName("com.android.browser","com.android.browser.FMSActivity");   
        startActivity(intent);

And then modify xml:

               <intent-filter>
　　                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
　　                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
　　                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
　　                <data android:scheme="file" />
　　            </intent-filter>

But I get the Log error:

The intent filter does not belong in your app (but rather the browser), unless you want your own app to respond to the intent in question. — J.G.Sebring, Dec 21 '12 at 09:51

What do you mean by default? The one the user declared as default? If yes then this is the code:

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
i.setData(Uri.parse(THE_URL));
startActivity(i);

You don't actually need to add intents to the application XML, that means an other thing. You might want to read through the docs to learn what intent-filters are for.
