How can I handle mailto and tel in android webview

I already make a java WebView for my website, this website in the footer the phone number and the email address when I click in it they told me (the webpage at tel could not be loaded because err_unknown_url_scheme), What should i do ?
MainActivity.Java
package xxx.xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import java.util.Objects;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private WebView webView;
#SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
try
{
Objects.requireNonNull(this.getSupportActionBar()).hide();
}
catch (NullPointerException ignored){}
//find the view
webView = findViewById(R.id.webview);
// to load all the web page in app itself use this
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
webView.loadUrl("https://www.ezyadvs.com");
WebSettings webSettings =webView.getSettings();
//if your website is using any javascript that needs to load some script then you need to enable javascript in android application
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// if any previous webpage exist then onback pressed will take care of it
if(webView.canGoBack())
{
webView.goBack();
}else{
//else it will exit the application
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}

Here is my solution in .kt (kotlin) :
this.webView.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() {
override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, url: String?): Boolean {
//add condition startsWith("tel:") or startsWith("mailto:")
if (url!!.startsWith("whatsapp:")) {
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
intent.data = Uri.parse(url)
startActivity(intent)
return true
}
return false
}
}

Whatapp share from Android webview is not working

return false;
}
}
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (mywebView.canGoBack()) {
mywebView.goBack();
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}
I don't know what is the issue, please help me

open native maps from webview

I have an app with a webview. The webview links to a mobile webpage where all links work correctly. When I click on a link in this webview, the link opens up in google maps inside the webview. Instead, I want the link to open up the native google maps app. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
I have this code that I need to insert it to my code
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if(url.contains("geo:")) {
Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse(url);
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
if (mapIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(mapIntent);
}
return true;
}
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
This is my code:
package com.company.test2;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.loadUrl("www.google.com");
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
}
}

To call android method from javascript you would need to make Javascriptinterface class and annotating method like #JavascriptInterface in documentation
public class WebAppInterface {
Context mContext;
/** Instantiate the interface and set the context */
WebAppInterface(Context c) {
mContext = c;
}
/** Show a toast from the web page */
#JavascriptInterface
public void showToast(String toast) {
Toast.makeText(mContext, toast, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
and bind it to webview like
webView.addJavascriptInterface(new WebAppInterface(this), "Android");
and from javascript you can call it like
function showtoastfromsite(){
Android.showToast("hello from website");
}

Actionbar not shown on second activity with webview

I am working on a project in Android Studio. My MainActivity shows the Actionbar. I created a new empty activity named Teachers. It shows the Actionbar when it's empty. I then created a webview. But when I input this webview code on Teachers activity, the Actionbar is not shown in the app (even though the webview works properly).
package com.codepade.shohel.eee7brur;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class Teachers extends Activity {
private WebView webView;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_teachers);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.teachersweb);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/teachers/index.html");
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
}
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
switch(keyCode)
{
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK:
if(webView.canGoBack() == true){
webView.goBack();
}else{
finish();
}
return true;
}
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}

in your Activity you can try getActionBar().show();

onKeyDown method crashing app

I have the following code that is working but when I hit the hardware back button the app crashes,
package com.fnesse.tmpmobile;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class TmpmobileActivity extends Activity
{
WebView webView;
final Activity activity = this;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress)
{
activity.setTitle("Loading...");
activity.setProgress(progress * 100);
if(progress == 100)
activity.setTitle(R.string.app_name);
}
});
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl)
{
//Error Code Here
}
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
{
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
webView.loadUrl("http://www.themorningtonpeninsula.com");
}
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && webView.canGoBack()) {
webView.goBack();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
I found somewhere that I needed to add,
WebView webView;
Above the onCeate method, which allowed webView to resolve. So now I get no errors but it crashes and the app runs on my phone but crashes when I hit the hardware back button.
Does anyone know why that would be happening?
Cheers,
Mike.

I'll try to do my magic guest on the error message. I think, this error is caused by the way to initialize webView variable. You see, on the class level, you declare:
WebView webView;
And then, on onCreate() you initialize webView and also redeclare it again:
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
But, this redeclare step resulted in class level webView to be uninitialized.
To fix it, try to change this line:
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
Into:
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
And you should now have class level webView initialized and ready for use in whatever method you have.
Here's few resources explaining Java variable scope:
http://www.java-made-easy.com/variable-scope.html
http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0020__Language/VariableScope.htm

You are creating a new Webview in your onCreate() method instead of the Class field Webview. Change
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
into:
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
