Well are you looking for the user to enter their URL of choice and then a corresponding "go" button will take them to the URL? If so, I would implement a TextView in your XML file. After that, make sure you implement the TextView you created within the apps java file.

First of all you need to implement the OnClickListener and put the listener to the TextView

tvExample.setOnClickListener(this);

In the OnClick method you need to launch an Intent with the Url from the webpage.

String url = "http://example.com";  
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);  
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));  
startActivity(i);
