Handle android TextView's link click

So i have a textView and sometimes my textView contains links, currently when i click in this link an intent with a list of downloaded browsers opens. now what i want is, i wanna open this link inside the current app, say in a WebView. how can i do this?
we do have multiple articles/questions on same topic but i have no idea what this articles/questions are really about.
like this one https://gist.github.com/ksoichiro/3394338 gave me an ClassCastException
android.text.style.URLSpan cannot be cast to pb.myPackage.LinkUtils$SensibleUrlSpan
or this one handle textview link click in my android app
is there's any straight simple way to achieve this? please let me know.

You could use Chrome Custom Tabs, this is faster than a webview in loading webpages and is pretty simple to customize.
First include the Library:
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.android.support:customtabs:25.1.1'
}
Then in your Activity when you call the method to open a browser add these lines of java:
String url = ¨https://google.com/¨;
CustomTabsIntent.Builder builder = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder();
CustomTabsIntent intent = builder.build();
intent.launchUrl(this, Uri.parse(url));
Refer to it's docs for more customization at:
https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/customtabs

How to hide url in Chrome custom tab android

I have implemented new Chrome Custom Tab in android, I am using the following code to open
Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://akash.plobal.com/ploicy");
CustomTabsIntent.Builder intentBuilder = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder();
intentBuilder.setToolbarColor(Color.BLACK);
intentBuilder.setShowTitle(true);
intentBuilder.build().launchUrl(getActivity(), uri);
I need to hide url below the title in toolbar

If you control both the content and the application, you can use Trusted Web Activities to completely remove the URL bar. You'll need to implement Digital Asset Links to validate the ownership of both.
If you don't own the content, it is not possible to hide the URL below the title. The URLs needs to visible to the user, so that they can know in which site they are. By removing this from the UI, a malicious site could mimic the UI of another one, and this could potentially create a security issue for users.

You cannot hide the url alone. You can only get rid of the whole title bar, that too when the user scroll the view. To achieve this,use
intentBuilder.enableUrlBarHiding();

You can try setShowTitle(false) of your custom tab.

Xamarin Forms - iOS Use webView in app, and not in default browser

I'm been using the WebView in my project to show a couple of webpages in app.
On Android this works fine. but on iOS it's open the default browser insted of showing it in app, like when you use
Device.OpenUri(new Uri(e.Url))
My code look like this
webView = new WebView
{
Source = new UrlWebViewSource
{
Url = "http://www.google.com",
},
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand
};
this.Content = webView ;
Any one here who know how to make the iOS open the page in-app ?

Using Device.OpenUri will often even according to the Xamarin documentation here, navigate outside the application.
If you want to host the content within your application, the best approach would be to embed the Webview, that it looks like your doing, and set the .Source to a url.
I don't understand why your using Device.OpenUri if you have a WebView instance already on your page.
Just set the .Source property of the WebView to point at some url.
For example:-
WebView objMyWebView = new WebView();
objMyWebView.Source = "http://www.google.com";

MuPDF: clickListener on hyperlinks

I use mupdf to view pdf files.
I built Android project using this instructions
However I can't click on the link in the text, e.x. url (it's highlighted but viewer doesn't react on click)
How could I jump through link in pdf file when click on it?
I'm also interested in alternative free pdf libraries for Android that supports hyperlinks.

We have a similar feature in our Android customizable magazine app, using muPDF: it is possible to "tap" on the links in the text, either external links, or links to other pages.
This app is open source and available on Github. It should be easy for you to review the code, and see how we implemented this feature.

"https://github.com/libreliodev/android" this link provides you pdf library which suppourts hyperlinks but it has lot other stuff,
what you need to do is after downloading the zip from the link extract it and load it in eclipse
1) create a activity and declare it in manifest
public class MyActivity extends BaseActivity /** base activity is available in library itself **/
{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MuPDFActivity.class);
resultIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
resultIntent.setData(Uri.parse("give the path of your pdf location"));
resultIntent.putExtra(Magazine.FIELD_TITLE, "Title");
startActivity(resultIntent);
}
}
it will load the pdf

Android Phonegap - Open iframe links in external browser instead of Phonegap WebView

I'm having what seems to be a pretty small issue in the Phonegap 1.3.0 application I am working on. It is for Android devices.
The problem is stemming from the ads I am trying to incorporate into my app. I am trying t use Leadbolt's no-SDK offer wall as well as their banner ads.
I am loading the offer wall within an iframe in my app, inside of a hidden DIV, and then displaying it when required - this part is working great.
The problem comes when I click on one of the links on the offer wall: instead of launching the clicked URL in a new External/Native browser, the link is being opened within the iframe. The same thing happens when someone clicks the banners, though these are integrated by inserting a in the location you want the ad to show rather than via an iframe. (Maybe the script injects an iframe, dunno, the end behavior is the same)
What I'm trying to do now is to implement a method in Java to catch any clicks, and open a new browser if the link is not relative/local - i.e. if it is prefixed by "http", "https", or "market" protocols
And here lies the real issue - the only experience I have with Java has been messing with Phoengap a bit :(
I have been reading and testing things all day, but finally I must resort to asking those of you who are more knowledgeable than I am in regards to Java programming.
Here is what I have been attempting so far:
package com.phonegap.my_great_app;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import com.phonegap.*;
public class MyGreatApp extends DroidGap {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
/* Intercept clicked links, and open external URLs in external browser */
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(DroidGap super, String url) {
if (url != null && url.startsWith("market://") || url.startsWith("http://") || url.startsWith("https://")) {
/* Open new WebView or external browser with URL */
/* Do it here */
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
/* Do nothing, it's relative URL from my app */
return false;
}
}
}
}
I am sure this code is laughably wrong, but hopefully it can illustrate what I'm trying to achieve here. Truth be told, I have no idea if shouldOverrideUrlLoading() is even the right method to be calling for this problem!
I will be very grateful for any advice or code samples you can offer! Thanks :)
EDIT: Just to be clear - I cannot alter the iframe source code so javascript or changing the link targets is not an option due to XSS issues.

You can open external links in the default browser instead of opening inside your phonegap application. This can be done in two ways easily.
One is by using Phonegap medthod like this,
navigator.app.loadUrl('http://stackoverflow.com');
/*NOTE : In some phonegap versions it does not works*/
Another way is using jquery mobile, you can do like this,
YouTube Channel
Thats all.
