Question

How would one go about enabling the ActionBar in a webview. My current code goes straight to loading the page in a web browser and skips all of my other activity logic, but I’m not sure why.

Main Activity

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.webview);

    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
    actionBar.setTitle("My Page");
    actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);

    WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
    myWebView.loadUrl(http://www.google.com);
}

XML File

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

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
/>

</LinearLayout>

I have also tried creating a dialog to show the webview, but that also proved unsuccessful.
Thanks!

Alright, so I found the answer to my problem, but it was more of a technicality than anything.

The problem was that the link was a redirect page, so the built in web-browser app was hijacking my session, adding this into my onCreate method solved it.

Thanks for the replies though!

myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            return false;
        }
});
