Android: WebView - open certain URLs inside WebView, the rest externally?
android, webview
Solution
Is it doable?
Yes.
How close am I do accomplishing this?
Close, but backwards. The default behavior of a `WebView` is to display links in the external browser. Hence, if `url.contains("/shuffle")`, you want to call `loadUrl()` on your `WebView` to keep the link internal, and return `true` in that case. If this is a URL you want handled normally, return `false`.
Problem
Here's my code: ``` public class MainActivity extends Activity { @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled") @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); WebView mywebview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); mywebview.loadUrl("http://www.shufflemylife.com/shuffle"); WebSettings webSettings = mywebview.getSettings(); webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true); mywebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()); } class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { if(url.contains("/shuffle")){ Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse(url)); startActivity(i); } return true; } } } ``` Basically, I want any url containing '/shuffle' to load inside WebView, and anything else to be opened in the external browser. Is it doable? How close am I do accomplishing this? Thanks for any help!
