User stay in app when user click in to site in webview

Question

I have a webview in my android app, but when someone navigates around the site, it opens in a new window, i want it to stay inside the webview.. is there a way to do this easily? Here is the code in my activity:

public class WebView1 extends Activity {

    WebView web1;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_web_view);

        Intent in=getIntent();
        String urll= in.getStringExtra("url");
        web1=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.web);
        web1.loadUrl(urll);

    }

Answer 1

Attach a WebViewClient to the WebView, where shouldOverrideUrlLoading() on your WebViewClient loads the URL into the WebView and returns true.

For example, this activity implements this approach:

    browser.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
      @Override
      public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);

        return(true);
      }
    });

    browser.loadUrl("https://commonsware.com");
  }
}
