Android Studio - Webview - shouldOverrideUrlLoading - Do not open web browser

Question

I developed a Webview app with Android Studio but when the user clicks a link from a web page in the WebView, Android is opening the default web browser. I already checked on Android Developers API Guides how to do but it does not work ;( on my app ... Guides Link: Handling Page Navigation

Who know how to use the "shouldOverrideUrlLoading() method" and how to insert it in my actual app?

Thanks

I fixed it! I just added

 WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings(); 

and

 private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { view.loadUrl(url); return true; } } 

To my MainActivity.java file... It is work great!!!
