Support for other protocols in Android webview

by

For me the JavaScript thing wasn’t a solution as the HTML is not under my control. So if you need to control this from the application side, then there is a relative simple solution: Derive from WebViewClientand inject the implementation using WebView.setWebViewClient(). All you need to override in your WebViewClientimplementation is the shouldOverrideUrlLoading method as shown here:

public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    if (url != null && url.startsWith("market://")) {
        view.getContext().startActivity(
            new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)));
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

For me this works fine.
