If by "simple Web browser" you mean "a component that displays HTML",
use WebView. Just embed it in your layout, use loadData() or loadUrl()
to populate the browser pane, and you're done.
If by "simple Web browser" you mean something with navigation buttons,
an address bar, and all that, you have to build that yourself (using
WebView as the base), or craft an Intent and use startActivity() to use
the built-in browser (in which case it's not running in your activity
and you have no control over the menu).
There is no "menu bar" in Android. There is an options menu (see
onPrepareOptionsMenu() in Activity) and some widgets support a context
menu (opened via a long-tap on the screen).
