Question

Answer 1

mailto links will not get loaded in your webview.You have check for it like this in shouldOverrideUrlLoading and handle it with intent.

    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    if (url.startsWith("mailto:")) {

        Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        share.setType("text/plain");
        share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Title of the dialog the system will open"));
        view.reload();
        return true;
    }
  }
