Question

I have a native android app in which there are two activities, 1st activity contains a button and on action of button I want to start the 2nd activity. Content of seconds activity will be from a website. Is it possible to make the 2nd activity behave like webapp ?

If I use WebView in this case, it is displaying the website inside the activity but when I try to interact with the website, it ask to open it in the browser which I don’t want. I want to interact with the website within the activity.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a ton.

Use below code… for open link in WebView itself instead of browser…

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_view);       
    WebView engine = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_view);
    engine.loadUrl("https://play.google.com/store?hl=en");
    engine.setWebViewClient( new HelloWebViewClient() );
} 



 private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

  @Override
  public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading( WebView view, String url ) {                 

     return false;
  }
}
