Android webview launches browser when calling loadurl
android, android-webview, webviewclient
Solution
Answering my question based on the suggestions from Maudicus and Hit.
Check the WebView tutorial here. Just implement the web client and set it before loadUrl. The simplest way is:
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
For more advanced processing for the web content, consider the ChromeClient.
Problem
I created an `Activity` that has a title and a web view in a `LinearLayout`. In the `onResume()` method it calls `webView.loadUrl(url)`. The problem is that the activity first shows the title with the rest of the screen blank, then the device browser is launched with the page for the URL. What I want to see is the page being shown in the `WebView` below the title. What could be the problem? Edit: Ok, did some further search and found this one: Clicking URLs opens default browser It points to the `WebView` tutorial here. Just implement the web client and set it.
