How To Force Android WebView to Process Redirects
Google is redirecting you to another URL, and the `WebView` is allowing the OS to process the redirect.
Use this code for the `WebView` to internally process redirects:
// By default, redirects cause jump from WebView to default
// system browser. Overriding url loading allows the WebView
// to load the redirect into this screen.
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return false;
}
});
Incidentally, you can do lots of other cool stuff in this function, such as custom handling of various URLs.
