Android WebView click open within WebView not a default browser

Question

I did one sample application using WebView, in that web view the URL comes from web services. It\'s working fine, but if I click any link within that WebView, its automatica

You need to set up a WebViewClient in order to override that behavior (opening links using the web browser). You obviously have your WebView declared, but then set up a WebViewClient like so:

WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

Then you need to define your WebViewClient():

private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        if (Uri.parse(url).getHost().equals("www.example.com")) {
            // Designate Urls that you want to load in WebView still.
            return false;
        }

        // Otherwise, give the default behavior (open in browser)
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
        startActivity(intent);
        return true;
    }
}

Then start your WebViewClient:

WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
