Open external links in the browser with android webview

Question

I have this code, but not because it works, it keeps opening in webview and what I want is that the links do not belong to my website open in your default browser. Any idea?

Answer 1

Since API level 24 shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) is deprecated.

Up to date solution:

    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, request.getUrl());
            view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
            return true;
        }
    });
