Browser activity not starting in android

Question

I am making an android app. I want to open a url sent to me by the server in my app in a browser. I am retrieving the url properly. But when i try to open the url using the following code :

final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).setData(Uri
                            .parse(url));
                    startActivity(intent);

It does not work. I get an exception stating Exception : "No activity found to handle Intent". The url is proper. If i print the url i get it properly as in it starts with "https://" and all, but when i pass the url to the browser activity it dosent work. This is a pretty weird issue. Please help me. I checked this link too, but in vain :( - Thanks in advance

If i put the link directly it works for me, but not otherwise. — Antrromet, Feb 13 '12 at 09:22
I think the problem might be with the secure content. Can you please try with some http url? — Boris Strandjev, Feb 13 '12 at 10:18
No, the problem is not with the https. I checked it already. — Antrromet, Feb 13 '12 at 10:37

I resolved the issue. Actually the problem was with the url. I was getting the url from some other activity, the problem was that in the url itself i had double quotes. I couldnt figure out the problem because when i was printing the string it came proper with the double quotes, but i didnt know that the string had double quotes in it.
