The webview with google search result links loaded in my android app, when I clicked on the links, it is opening up a blank screen.
I think, it is something to do with onmousedown event attached with every href links in the result page.
will be very thankful if I am provided with a way to handle this and make webview to actually openup the link that I am clicking on.
I’m having the same problem. I get the “about:blank” page when I click on Google search results in a WebView in my Asus Transformer TF700 running 4.1.1. It doesn’t happen in my Acer A100 tablet or other phones.
I noticed the result links work when I switch from Tablet to Classic version at the bottom of main Google Search Page.
https://www.google.com/?nota=1
If you remove the ?nota=1 in the above URL you won’t see the Tablet option in your PC. In your tablet however the default google.com URL displays the Tablet option at the bottom.
If you use nota=1 in your search results page the links will work. Like this:
http://www.google.com/search?nota=1&q=amazon
I know this is not perfect. We’d like the default Google search results page’s links to work. Google is doing something funky on the Tablet version which Asus Transformer doesn’t seem to like!
I will post an update when I figure out what is causing this. Oh! the fun with Android 🙂
