android webview unset default browser

I use the following to show a webpage in a webview
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_webview);
WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.setInitialScale(1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webView.setClickable(true);
webView.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
webSettings.setSupportZoom(true);
webSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webView.loadUrl("http://www.bbc.co.uk");
}
It works perfect and even has pinch and zoom however When i click to go to another webpage via a link it opens it in the default browser instead of the webview
How to i achieve this. I have read many articles on this but cant understand where i need to insert the commands
Any help appreciated
Mark

thanks very much for the link above the following works perfect
myWebView.loadUrl("http://someurl.com");
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView viewx, String urlx) {
viewx.loadUrl(urlx);
return false;
}
});

Android WebView - code that can display and play a podcast can't play a YouTube video

I have this code which works to display a WebView and use it:
WebView webview = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
//setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock_Light);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.podcasts);
webview = new WebView(this);
webview.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(false);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.setInitialScale(1);
webview.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
//webSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
WebSettings webSettings = webview.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
//webSettings.getMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture();
webSettings.setAllowContentAccess(true);
webSettings.setEnableSmoothTransition(true);
webSettings.setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);
webSettings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webSettings.setSupportZoom(true);
webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
setContentView(webview);
webview.loadUrl("url_to_go_to");
But when I try to use this code to point to a YouTube channel, it just shows a blank screen.
Any idea why that would happen?
Thanks!

In order to get HTML5 videos to show up you need to enable the following things in the WebView:
WebView view;
... //initialize WebView
WebSettings webViewSettings = view.getSettings();
view.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient(){}); //just added this
webViewSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webViewSettings.setAppCacheEnabled(true);
webViewSettings.setAppCachePath(getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/cache");
webViewSettings.setDatabaseEnabled(true);
webViewSettings.setDatabasePath(getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/databases");
You also need to put android:hardwareAccelerated="true" in your AndroidManifest. Otherwise, HTML5 stuff like YouTube videos won't work.

WebView user agent

I have WebView which loads one mobile site, I need send to user agent to the server how it to realize?
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://searchmp3.mobi/");
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());

Checkout the setUserAgentString() method in the WebSettings, e.g.
mWebView.getSettings().setUserAgentString("My user agent string, here");

try this one
WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview1);
WebSettings webSettings = wv.getSettings();
webSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
wv.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
