How to open extarnal url in default browser and all internal links in WebView Android?

Question

I use this logic that every internal link contains 'myurl' string so it should be open in WebView and other external link in default browser.

package com.package.webviewapp; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.webkit.WebView; import android.webkit.WebViewClient; public class MainActivity extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView); webView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient()); String url = "http://myurl.com"; webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webView.loadUrl(url); } } class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { if(url.contains("myurl")){ // Could be cleverer and use a regex view.loadUrl(url); // Stay within this webview and load url return true; } else { return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url); // Leave webview and use browser } } }

but it is opening all links in WebView. as it is mentioned here Open link from Android Webview in normal browser as popup it should work.

Have you used <meta-data> tag to differentiate between ur own url and other url. — Roll no1

When you want to load other url use below method , it will open in default browser

Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(download_link)); startActivity(myIntent);
