Below code make launch urls in webview including intent:// url scheme in Android.

@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    if (url != null) {
        if (url.startsWith("http://") || url.startsWith("https://")) {
            view.loadUrl(url);
        } else if (url.startsWith("intent://")) {
            try {
                Intent intent = Intent.parseUri(url, Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME);
                Intent existPackage = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(intent.getPackage());
                if (existPackage != null) {
                    startActivity(intent);
                } else {
                    Intent marketIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                    marketIntent.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=" + intent.getPackage()));
                    startActivity(marketIntent);
                }
                return true;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else if (url.startsWith("market://")) {
            try {
                Intent intent = Intent.parseUri(url, Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME);
                if (intent != null) {
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
                return true;
            } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else { // unhandled url scheme
             view.getContext().startActivity(
                    new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)));
        }
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
