Android webview opens page in default browser instead of my webview [duplicate]

Answer 1

Add this setContentView(browser); instead of setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);, but add it at the end of the method.

Edit:

Also, add this:

   browser.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {

            }
        });

Answer 2

You need to implement setWebViewClient(....) like so.

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                view.loadUrl(url);
                return true;
                }
        });

Update:

Make your Activity like so

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView browser;

@Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    // find the WebView by name in the main.xml of step 2
    browser=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.wvwMain);

    // Enable javascript
    browser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);  

    // Set WebView client
    browser.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

    browser.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                view.loadUrl(url);
                return true;
                }
        });
     // Load the webpage
    browser.loadUrl("http://news.google.com/");
   }
}
