android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent error

Question

I am trying to open a link in the browser on click of an imageview inside a recycler view in android. I have logged all the links that are coming and they all have https:// at the start. I get exception:

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent

I have tried reading the related questions but none helped. My onClick() code is:

 public void onClick(View v) {

            String url = mTitleList.get(getAdapterPosition());
            Intent intent  = new Intent();
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

          // intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);

            //pass the url to intent data
            intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
            startActivity(intent);


        }

check this [No Activity found to handle Intent error](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41548209/android-no-activity-found-to-handle-intent-when-opening-fb-native-app/41548299#41548299) — Sagar Gangawane, Aug 03 '17 at 10:46

In Some case url starts with "www". That's why we get Activity not found to handle Intent exception.
You can try this.

if (!url.startsWith("https://") && !url.startsWith("http://")){
    url = "http://" + url;
}
Intent openUrlIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(openUrlIntent);

This code is equivalent to what OP already has. The suggestion should be a comment instead as it does not solve the problem. – Eugen Pechanec Aug 03 '17 at 11:13

textView_facebook.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("your link"));
                startActivity(browserIntent);
            }
        });
