Personal want to open a link that will be clicked on WebView, I want it to open in the browser. I have the code here:
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
{
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if(url.contains(url)) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);
}
return true;
}
});
But the first time it is clicked it opens in the app itself!
You have to create a Intent to open the link in the browser.
1 - Create a String with your URL
2 - Create a Intent object passing as argument Intent.ACTION_VIEW , this will cause the android to search for apps on the device that can open that URL (the browser is one).
3 - Pass your string containing your URL as a parameter of the setData(url) method of the Intent class (use the Uri.parse (your_string_url) method to convert the string to a URI).
4 - Call the startActivity(intent) method by passing the intent properly configured with the previous steps.
String url = "http://www.yourlink.com"; // Cria a string - URL
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); // Cria o Intent
intent.setData(Uri.parse(url)); // Passa a string para url e passa como um argumento do metodo setData(url)
startActivity(intent); //chama o metodo startActivity(intent) passando o intent e o navegador é aberto aqui.
