I am getting "net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME" while calling a telephone number option from an HTML page in Android. Do I need to add any permission(s) in the manifest to get this working? I haven't added anything in the manifest so far. Here's the HTML Code:
<a href="tel:+1800229933">Call us free!</a>
The following should work and not require any permissions in the manifest (basically override shouldOverrideUrlLoading and handle links separately from tel, mailto, etc.):
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_view);
WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if( url.startsWith("http:") || url.startsWith("https:") ) {
return false;
}
// Otherwise allow the OS to handle things like tel, mailto, etc.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
startActivity( intent );
return true;
}
});
mWebView.loadUrl(url);
Also, note that in the above snippet I am enabling JavaScript, which you will also most likely want, but if for some reason you don't, just remove those 2 lines.
I had this issue occurring with mailto:
and tel:
links inside an iframe (in Chrome, not a webview). Clicking the links would show the grey "page not found" page and inspecting the page showed it had a ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME error.
Adding target="_blank"
, as suggested by this discussion of the issue fixed the problem for me.
Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.
main.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center">
<WebView
android:id="@+id/webView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
MyActivity.java
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private WebView webView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.loadData("<a href=\"tel:+1800229933\">Call us free!</a>", "text/html", "utf-8");
}
}
Please add this permission in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>
