android how can imageview link to web page

Question

is it possible to make an imageview link to a web page such that when user taps on the image, it takes them to a web page?

Answer 1

That's truly possible, at onClick handler you need to start an activity with intent specifying the uri. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3505788/how-to-open-default-browser/3505804#3505804 for example.

Answer 2

Just add a click listener to the image to open an URL:

ImageView img = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.foo_bar);
img.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
    public void onClick(View v){
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
        intent.setData(Uri.parse("http://casidiablo.net"));
        startActivity(intent);
    }
});
