Hello, and thank you for you patience with me. I am knew to Android, however I have been programming LAMP and Visual Basic and C# for many years.

I am using Android Studio 3.5 and using Kotlin as the language.

I have a very simple question for many of you, however, it is vexing me. I would greatly appreciate your help.


I have created a menu in my android app. The problem I am having is, how do I select a Menu Item and go to a web page?

Here is the code I have.
From MainActivity.kt-----------------------------------------
override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean {
       
        return when (item.itemId) {
            R.id.action_locate -> true
            else -> super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
        }
        return when (item.itemId) {
            R.id.action_scanner -> true
            else -> super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
        }
        return when (item.itemId) {
            R.id.action_qrcodescanner -> true
            else -> super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
        }
        return when (item.itemId) {
            R.id.action_mainsite -> true
            else -> super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
        }

------------------------------------------------------------

MenuMain.xml-------------------------------------------------
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="com.sdf.sdf.MainActivity">

<item
    android:id="@+id/action_locate"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="Locate Vehicle"
    app:showAsAction="never" />
<item
    android:id="@+id/action_scanner"
    android:title="BarCode Scanner"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    app:showAsAction="never" />
<item
    android:id="@+id/action_qrcodescanner"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_scanner_black_24dp"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="Q.R. Code Scanner"
    app:showAsAction="never" />
<item
    android:id="@+id/action_mainsite"
    android:icon="@android:drawable/checkbox_on_background"
    android:orderInCategory="100"
    android:title="TheSite.com"
    app:showAsAction="never" />
    
</menu>
---------------------------------------------

Please tell me if you need any other code.

I just want to know how to make a menu item go to a webpage.

Thank you.
