Using Intents code challenge 1

I am having a lot of trouble with the first code challenge. The instructions say that the String URL needs to be set to a Uri Object, but I have no idea how to do that.

It means we need to create an Uri from the string URL and then set the Uri to the intent. We could use Uri.parse() to create Uri like this: 

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(mUrls[position]));
startActivity(intent);
