Link should be open in same web view in Android
I am new in Android and I am trying to open a Link in webview using this code
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webinfo);
myWebView.loadUrl("http://oslobokfestival.netteam.no/artical.php?articalid=93");
myWebView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.lbg);
myWebView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
and in this HTML page contains some links and I want that when user click that link should be open in same webview, at this point its opening in mobile browser, please give me appropriate solution.. Thanks.
You need to add WebViewClient to your WebView in order to open it in the WebView. Something like
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
view.loadUrl(request.getUrl().toString());
return false;
}
});
Try remove @Overrideand an put it after loadurl This work for me...
myWebView.loadUrl("http://someurl.com");
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView viewx, String urlx) {
viewx.loadUrl(urlx);
return false;
}
});
For me its works by simply overriding
shouldOverrideUrlLoading
methods and
return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, request)
that will handle all links in same WebView
.
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, request);
}
});
Override the method shouldOverrideUrlLoading of WebViewClient like this:
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
view.loadUrl(request.toString());
return true;
}
});
and add this tag <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
in your manifest file To get access to the internet
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("#");
}
}
