Open Url within the Android App Not in Browser | Webview App Development Series Part 3

Hi friends, last post I have shown How to Remove Action Bar in webview Android app.As you can see in the below video if we click on any button or link it asks permission to open with a browser like google chrome or android webview tester.i will show you how to write the program for opening any URL into android app, not in the browser. Watch below the full video for better understanding. Let's start.

You need to write a function called setWebviewClient()

Code:

web.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

Now for improving our app, we will do some more coding.

Code:

//improve webview performance web.getSettings().setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true); web.getSettings().setRenderPriority(WebSettings.RenderPriority.HIGH); web.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK); web.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true); web.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY); mywebsettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true); mywebsettings.setLayoutAlgorithm(WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.NARROW_COLUMNS); mywebsettings.setUseWideViewPort(true); mywebsettings.setSavePassword(true); mywebsettings.setSaveFormData(true); mywebsettings.setEnableSmoothTransition(true);

That's all. Next post I will show how to add a Progress bar in the webview android app.Thank you.
