Answer 1

You need to add an extra line of code, like so-

webview.loadUrl(url);
webview.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());

And add an additional class MyWebViewClient like this-

/* Class for webview client */
class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

// show the web page in webview but not in web browser
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {

    view.loadUrl(url);

    return true;
}

@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
    super.onPageFinished(view, url);
}

@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
    super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}

@Override
public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
    super.onLoadResource(view, url);

}

}
