Instead of viewing this URL in the browser, change the Intent to view it using the WebViewActivity class.

I get error: Bummer! There is a compiler error. Please click on preview to view your syntax errors! ./WebViewActivity.java:16: non-static method getData() cannot be referenced from a static context mUrl = Intent.getData().toString(); ^ 1 error

HERE IS MY CODE:

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.webkit.WebView;

public class WebViewActivity extends Activity {

    protected String mUrl;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_web_view);

      Intent intent = getIntent(); 
        mUrl = Intent.getData().toString();
        WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
      webView.loadUrl(mUrl.toString());


    }
}
