I have a JSON that I'm parsing from and using it in a RecyclerView object. The JSON includes a URL to the related news story and I'm not really sure how to get the URL from the adapter and have it open the link when the item is pressed. Most of the stuff I searched up online doesn't seem to work for me so I'd really appreciate some help. Here's the relevant code and a sample of the JSON data.
