Load link in WebView Android

Question

WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.loadUrl("http://google.com");

This is my code for webview. It works fine but when a link is clicked it opens the default browser and does not load the link in webview.

Help me out!

Answer 1

You need to implement your own WebViewClient to tell the webView wich urls or domanis should handle. Something like this:

private class BaseWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
        if (Uri.parse(request.getUrl().toString()).getHost().contains("yourdomain.com.ar")) {
            callback.setWebView(view);
            return false;
        }
        // Otherwise, the link is not for a page on my site, so launch another Activity that handles URLs
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(request.getUrl().toString()));
        startActivity(intent);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        if (Uri.parse(url).getHost().contains("yourdomain.com.ar")) {
            callback.setWebView(webView);
            return false;
        }
        // Otherwise, the link is not for a page on my site, so launch another Activity that handles URLs
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
        startActivity(intent);
        return true;
    }

}

Then set it to your webView element:

webView.setWebViewClient(new BaseWebViewClient());

Answer 2

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient())

Answer 3

in your Activity

WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);

webView.setWebViewClient(new BaseWebViewClient());

webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
