How to open new intent when webview go out of my website

I'm making an Android App with Java in Android Studio for my website using webview, but i've a lot of links which go out of website. How can i detect if link redirect from www.mywebsite.com to www.anotherwebsite.com and open it in another page intent?

You can use the code below.
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
and create and inner class
private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return false;
}
}

How can I open multiple PDF Links in Android WebView in Android?

I'm building android app where, I placed links to the page in webview on which multiple links are there pointing to PDFs. Everyday, new links are updated. I want to make such functionality that when user clicks on the particular PDF link, it should get opened in default PDF viewer or there itself.
Right now, nothing is happening when user clicks on PDF link within webview.
WebView w=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.web1);
WebSettings webSettings=w.getSettings();
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webSettings.setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
w.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
w.loadUrl("http://collegecirculars.unipune.ac.in/sites/examdocs/_layouts/mobile/view.aspx?List=7ed6607e-6c43-401a-a922-bf8d8bf08ed8&View=dc261157-c533-4a60-977b-506fd87b2a19");

You can use Google Docs Viewer to read your pdf online:
WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
String pdf = "http://collegecirculars.unipune.ac.in/sites/examdocs/Examiantions%20Timetables/Master-In-ARTS(M.A)(Rev.2008)-(24908)_Spl4-8-16.pdf?Mobile=1&Source=%2Fsites%2Fexamdocs%2F_layouts%2Fmobile%2Fview%2Easpx%3FList%3D7ed6607e%252D6c43%252D401a%252Da922%252Dbf8d8bf08ed8%26View%3Ddc261157%252Dc533%252D4a60%252D977b%252D506fd87b2a19%26ViewMode%3DSimple%26CurrentPage%3D1";
webview.loadUrl("http://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=" + pdf);
open in browser
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(pdf_url));
startActivity(browserIntent);
To override current URL :
private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
}
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
// here you can check PDF
url = url.toLowerCase();
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
set this MyWebViewClient to your webView.
PaymentWebViewClient paymentWebViewClient = new PaymentWebViewClient();
webView.setWebViewClient(paymentWebViewClient);

Android call JS from Native Code

I'm trying to call JS functions from Android native code, but they don't seem to be working. I've tried many solutions but to no solution. Here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private WebView webView;
#SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webView.setWebViewClient(new MyCustomWebViewClient());
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webView.loadUrl("http://google.com");
}
private class MyCustomWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
webView.loadUrl("javascript:alert('shadow');");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "DONE", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
Please help.
Thanks

You can't do alert() with Android's WebView. If you want to show alert dialogs, you need to handle it in your Activity code or use a WebChromeClient. Per the docs:
Creating and setting a WebChromeClient subclass. This class is called
when something that might impact a browser UI happens, for instance,
progress updates and JavaScript alerts are sent here (see Debugging
Tasks).
See: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html
With a WebView you can still write a JavaScript function that sets the value of a textbox to some string. If you need specific code to help you with this, let me know. If you've gotten this far though, you probably can handle it on your own is my guess.
Edit 1
First create a method in JavaScript called sendValueToAndroid()
myWebView.loadUrl("javascript:sendValueToAndroid()");
In the JavaScript method, call an exposed method in your Android code.
function sendValueToAndroid()
{
val divValue = ...
Android.sendValueToAndroid(divValue);
}
Expose a method in the Android app in any object of your choosing.
#JavascriptInterface
public String sendValueToAndroid(String val)
{
//do something in your app
}
Basically, what you're doing is telling the WebView to invoke a JavaScript method which invokes a callback method in your own app.

How to setup Android WebView to make it work identically Android browser?

What are the settings to enable or disable in WebView to do this?

If you want to use a webview with exactly the same features as the native android browser, you have to check MANY options and settings. A WebView is made to NOT use all of the browsers options and settings for better performance and for having more controll on what the users can and can not do while browsing. to figure out all the opportunities you should read through the api documentation here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html
For some further dealing and handling with the WebView class also here are some usefull sample codelines:
http://pankajchunchun.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/example-of-webview-with-result-handler-and-connection-timeout-handler/
I hope this will help you.

this is the webview example source..
what kind of setting do you wanna know??
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView webview;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
webview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebClient());
WebSettings set = webview.getSettings();
set.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
set.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
findViewById(R.id.btnStart).setOnClickListener(onclick);
}
OnClickListener onclick =new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String url= null;
EditText add = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.add);
url = add.getText().toString();
webview.loadUrl(url);
}
};
class WebClient extends WebViewClient {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}

In addition to #Ssam's answer, you might want to manage the back button press so your app/Activity doesn't get closed on back press.
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (webview.canGoBack()) {
webview.goBack();
}else
super.onBackPressed();
}
where webview is your webview

webview never call ShuldOverrideUrlloading in webviewclient in android

I have a webview and a link on the URL that I have loaded on that webview, I want such like that if user clicks in this link the app will go to the background and open that link with the default web browser of that device. To do this I have done the following:
web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview01);
progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
web.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
web.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
web.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
web.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if (url != null
&& url.startsWith("http://the6figuremarketer.com/apps/androidfb21/thks.html")) {
view.getContext().startActivity(
new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)));
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
});
web.loadUrl("http://the6figuremarketer.com/apps/androidfb21/index.html");
but I figured out that the shouldoverrideurl method is nevet get called. what should I do now? can anyone help?

Look at shouldOverrideUrlLoading in WebView for Android not running.
shouldOverrideUrlLoading() is not called when you call loadurl on webview. It is called only when you click on a link in webview.
