WebView loads a google form, link in google form does not open

I have a webview where I perfectly load a google form. In the google form there is a link that redirect to a web page, something like "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.mywebsite.com/support/" but no matter what I do I cannot open this link. Everything else work fine.
WebSettings webSettings = supportWebPageWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
supportWebPageWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
//do stuff
}
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, final String url) {
//do stuff
}
});
The only way to make it work is open the link in a browser.
Anyone had the same problem?

I haven't noticed that clicking on the link it opens a new window, the answer is than here Android - Open target _blank links in WebView with external browser

Open url without using browser in android

I want to create android application which will open url in same application as like facebook application without any browser.
I tried using WebView but it opens the url in browser.

You have to set up a webViewClient for your webView.
Sample code :
this.mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
{
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});

Loading images from another domain in webview

When loading a page in a webview, I can't reference images on another server - if the page the webview loads is example.com, then
img src="http://anotherexample.com/image.jpg" will not load.
Is there a work-around for this?

its amazing, but for me problem solved by adding shouldOverrideUrlLoading:
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
{
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}

Android getting request of opening some website in browser to my app

can I get the url or request of opening some website as URL is typed or entered in my app. I am implementing parental control. So I just want to block some websites from my app. So can I get the request in my app as user hits any URL in any Browser? Is there any way?
Thanks in advance.

have you tried to add this :
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return true;
}
});

If you are opening your website into a WebView into your android app, you can block it with the shouldOverrideUrlLoading callback:
mView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
(put here your conditions to block or let load an url)
}
}

Android WebView, how to handle redirects in app instead of opening a browser

So right now in my app the URL I'm accessing has a redirect, and when this happens the WebView will open a new browser, instead of staying in my app. Is there a way I can change the settings so the View will redirect to the URL like normal, but stay in my app instead of opening a new browser?
Edit:
I want the redirecting URL, I just don't know how to create it, so the only way to get to that URL is through one that will cause a redirect to the one I want.
For example: When you go here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_box_/k=9780735622777 notice how it will redirect the URL to the actual product. In my app, if I open it in a new browser, it will do that just fine, however if I keep it in my app with a WebView, it will show up as though it's doing a search for k=9780735622777, like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_?k=k%3D9780735622777&x=0&y=0 . OR, it will open the view in the browser and show what is appropriate. However, I want to keep everything in my app.

Create a WebViewClient, and override the shouldOverrideUrlLoading method.
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
// do your handling codes here, which url is the requested url
// probably you need to open that url rather than redirect:
view.loadUrl(url);
return false; // then it is not handled by default action
}
});

According to the official documentation, a click on any link in WebView launches an application that handles URLs, which by default is a browser. You need to override the default behavior like this
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return false;
}
});

Just adding a default custom WebViewClient will do. This makes the WebView handle any loaded urls itself.
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

You will have to set your custom WebviewClient overriding shouldOverrideUrlLoading method for your webview before loading the url.
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
{
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, String url)
{
return shouldOverrideUrlLoading(url);
}
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, WebResourceRequest request)
{
Uri uri = request.getUrl();
return shouldOverrideUrlLoading(uri.toString());
}
private boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(final String url)
{
Log.i(TAG, "shouldOverrideUrlLoading() URL : " + url);
// Here put your code
return true; // Returning True means that application wants to leave the current WebView and handle the url itself, otherwise return false.
}
});

Create a class that implements webviewclient and add the following code that allows ovveriding the url string as shown below.
You can see these [example][1]
public class myWebClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
On your constructor, create a webview object as shown below.
web = new WebView(this); web.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
Then add the following code to perform loading of urls inside your app
WebSettings settings=web.getSettings();
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.loadUrl("http://www.facebook.com");
web.setWebViewClient(new myWebClient());
web.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
//
//
}

Please use the below kotlin code
webview.setWebViewClient(object : WebViewClient() {
override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView, url: String): Boolean {
view.loadUrl(url)
return false
}
})

In Kotlin, to navigate within same webView we needed to override the shouldOverrideUrlLoading for webview
If return type is true then navigation will be blocked If return
type is false then navigation will happen
object : WebViewClient() {
override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView, request: WebResourceRequest): Boolean {
return true
}
}.also { webView.webViewClient = it }

#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
if (url.equals("your url")) {
Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(), TransferAllDoneActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
