Question

I have a problem with the WebView implemented in my application, having the web links must be open in the app browser.

I am using the following code for Webview layout:

<WebView
android:id="@+id/webadd"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="1"/>                         

and the java code:

String url="http://www.google.co.in"
webadd=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webadd);
webadd.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true) ;
webadd.loadUrl(url);                                               

Here the problem is that

the URL is getting loaded in the Phone default browser skipping the app browser instead of getting loaded into app browser.

How to resolve this problem with the links/ sample code.

Answer 1

You means that you want to load the same URL in WebView residing within the Application, if this is the case then create a class by extending WebViewClient.

String url="http://www.google.co.in"
webadd=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webadd);
webadd.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webadd.setWebViewClient(new myWebClient());  
webadd.loadUrl(url); 

    public class myWebClient extends WebViewClient  
        {  
            @Override  
            public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {  
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
                super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);  
            }  

            @Override  
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {  
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub  

                view.loadUrl(url);  
                return true;  

            }  
        }
