I have a hybrid app that uses WebView to render external html from my own site. It had a problem that if any link was clicked, it started a browser window. I found this code to help me out and it works:
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return false;
}
});
But now the problem is that I want it to not work for links that have target=_blank in them. So any normal links still open inside the WebView while the links with target=_blank should open in new browser window.
Any way we can do this?
Thanks
First,
mWebView.getSettings().setSupportMultipleWindows(true);
Then in WebChromeClient
, override OnCreateWindow()
private class MyWebChromeclient extends WebChromeClient {
@Override
public boolean onCreateWindow(WebView view, boolean isDialog,
boolean isUserGesture, Message resultMsg) {
WebView newWebView = new WebView(WebViewActivity2.this);
view.addView(newWebView);
WebView.WebViewTransport transport = (WebView.WebViewTransport) resultMsg.obj;
transport.setWebView(newWebView);
resultMsg.sendToTarget();
newWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
browserIntent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(browserIntent);
return true;
}
});
return true;
}
Try this.
myWebView.getSettings().setSupportMultipleWindows(true);
myWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
@Override
public boolean onCreateWindow(WebView view, boolean dialog, boolean userGesture, android.os.Message resultMsg)
{
WebView.HitTestResult result = view.getHitTestResult();
String data = result.getExtra();
Context context = view.getContext();
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(data));
context.startActivity(browserIntent);
return false;
}
});

One more setting required for webview in addition to myWebView.getSettings().setSupportMultipleWindows(true);
myWebView.setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
