Issue
I am implementing a web view in my application. now when a user clicks on a phone number it shows net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME. But if i use chrome. it brings the dialer application with that phonenumber.
I need the exact same thing in my application. When a phone number is clicked within webview then the dialer needs to be opened with that phone number.
Here is my shouldOverrideUrlLoading
Method for the webview. I can see there is answer here. But i am pretty new to android and java and i couldn't make this thing work till now.
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
progressBar.setVisibility(view.VISIBLE);
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
Solution
This must be working. we need to override the shouldOverrideUrlLoading
method of the webview class. and check if the url contains the tel:xxxx
Then create an intent for the dialer and invoke the dialer. and we can call any application we want like gmail app if its a mailto:
link
here is the methode.
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
{
if(url.contains("tel:")) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);
return true;
} else {
progressBar.setVisibility(view.VISIBLE);
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
