                if(BrowserComponent.isNativeBrowserSupported()) {

                        BrowserComponent browser = new BrowserComponent();

                        browser.setURL(url);

                }

                else {

                        Display.getInstance().execute(url);

                }

        }

why are you using BrowserComponent if you want to use the device browser?

do this:

 protected static void execute(String url) {

                        Display.getInstance().execute(url);

}

The BrowserComponent is useful to show a web view inside a cn1 Form.

I have a similar problem, I want to open a URL in the device default web browser using the method:

Display.getInstance().execute(url);

In the simulator it indeed opens the url in the default web browser, but in a real device it does nothing.

I tested in Nexus One (Android ver. 2.3.6) and Galaxy Tab 3 (Android ver. 4.2.2). It does not work in any.

This works for us consistently and we have quite a few devices including the nexus one. What's the URL you are trying to open? Is it an http/https URL?

Thanks Shai, 

The protocol (http) was missing in the URL.
