WebView inside application?

So I have a WebView inside of a LinearLayout with an EditText Box and a Button to make the application search for the web. When I click go on my button it takes me to the stock android browser. how do I make It so that it stays within my WebView when I click go? here is my layout:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
      <EditText
       android:id="@+id/web_address"
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:text="http://"/>

      <Button
       android:id="@+id/go"
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:background="@drawable/go"
       android:gravity="right"/>

 <WebView
     android:id="@+id/webview"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 />
</LinearLayout>

here is my source:

    package straightapp.com.Browser;

    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.net.Uri;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.KeyEvent;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
    import android.view.View.OnKeyListener;
    import android.webkit.WebView;
    import android.widget.Button;
    import android.widget.EditText;

     public class Browser extends Activity {
 WebView mWebView;
 Button button;
 EditText text;
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.straightapp.com");

        text=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.web_address);
        button=(Button) findViewById(R.id.go);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

   public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    openBrowser();

   }
        });
        text.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {

            public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    if (keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER){
                            openBrowser();
                            return true;
                    }

                    return false;
            }
            });
    }

    public void openBrowser(){
        Uri uri=Uri.parse(text.getText().toString());
        Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,uri);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {
            mWebView.goBack();
            return true;
        }
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    }
  }

Thanks

When I click go on my button it takes me to the stock android browser.

That's because that is what you told Android to do. startActivity() starts an activity.

how do I make It so that it stays within my WebView when I click go?

Call loadUrl() on your WebView instead of calling startActivity().
