The docs say you can use an "http:" uri, which is not quite a "specific real URL" in the way I guess you intend.
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html Is your advice in conflict with that page in the docs says about browser intents? It seems like my resolveActivity call conforms to the docs. It works until I add a second activity that also services "http" data. So I thought I was on the right track but misunderstanding what happens when there are multiple apps that satisfy the resolution.
