I have created an edittext and a go button and a webview in single layout. When a person enters a url and clicks on go button, the webview should load the website content, Instead it is going to default browser to load website how should i slove this issue ?

This is my code

xml file

 <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <WebView android:id="@+id/webview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginTop="50dip" /> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal" > <EditText android:id="@+id/etenterurl" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:inputType="textUri" /> <Button android:id="@+id/buttongo" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="3.0" android:text="Go" /> </LinearLayout> </FrameLayout>

You have to use WebViewClient

wbView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient()); private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { Log.v("uuuurl",url); view.loadUrl(url); return true; } }

See here for example

you should use WebViewClient

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){ @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { Log.d("TAG", " ==> "+url); view.loadUrl(url); return true; } });
