Creating a URI from URL

Question

I'm trying to create a URI from a URL for my Android application.

I've found the answer here How to create a Uri from a URL? but sadly, I am getting an exception

java.net.MalformedURLException

My code is

URL connection_url = new URL("http://www.google.com"); // exception on this line URI uri = url.toURI();

I am importing the following

import java.net.URI; import java.net.URL;

I'm not sure what I've done wrong

Edit

Updated from www.google.com to http://www.google.com - same error

Did you really write hpttp:? This indeed gives a MalformedURLException — Henry

"www.google.com" not a valid URL as it misses the protocol part. Try something like:

URL connection_url = new URL("http://www.google.com");

For example this works without problems:

public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, URISyntaxException { URL connection_url = new URL("http://www.google.com"); URI uri = connection_url.toURI(); System.out.println(uri); }

Copying and pasting the code still fails in the same manner I describe above, until I do the throws MalformedURLExpcetion, URISyntaxException

Check this

Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");
