cant start browser from service in android
<p>Hello I am trying to start the android browser from a service using this code: </p>

<pre><code>protected void showBrowser(){

    String url = "http://www.google.com";
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
    this.startActivity(i);
}
</code></pre>

<p>but this doesn't seem to work! the browser is never started and using log the execution stops when the startActivity is called.
thanks in advanced maxsap.</p>
