Android setWebChromeClient not working

Issue

I am trying to load a website in the webview, but when I open the app, it doesn't load anything, instead it opens the link in the default browser.. How can I make it load in my webview? The code has no errors in eclipse but it doesn't do what it should.. What am I doing wrong?

package com.example.name;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView browser;

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

        // find the WebView by name in the main.xml of step 2
        browser=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.wvwMain);

        // Enable javascript
        browser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);  

        // Set WebView client
        browser.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

        // Load the webpage
        browser.loadUrl("http://www.website.com/");


    }
}

Solution

Try to set custom WebViewClient:

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

        return true;
    });

WebChromeClient let you handle JavaScript functions.

WebViewClient let you handle loading page (shouldOverrideUrlLoading()) and complete loading page (onPageFinished()).
