Android WebView app err_unknown_url_scheme (mailto, external links, website internal links)

Question

I have used this code and is working correctly (webview links and external links of website) but,

I get "ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME" when trying to tap on html links that starts with mailto:

*So I need my website links work in webview app, other external links like facebook, instagram, all others... to open from browser android or app, and links like mailto: | tel: to send from app / phone.

Anyone can help me to fix this please? I have little knowledge in java:(

Thanks.

Try this

if(url.startsWith("mailto:")){
        MailTo mt = MailTo.parse(url);
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        i.setType("text/plain");
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{mt.getTo()});
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, mt.getSubject());
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, mt.getCc());
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, mt.getBody());
        mContext.startActivity(i);
        view.reload();
        return true;
    }
