webview not loading website from external link

Issue

I am having issues with getting a URL to load in my webview that was clicked on in a email. It prompts to use my app which works fine and dandy, however its just loading a blank page. Here is my code.

    import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.webkit.WebView;
    import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
    import android.util.Log;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.net.Uri;



    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static final String TAG = "appdebug";
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);

        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

        webView.getSettings().setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture(false);
        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

        Log.i(TAG, "webview working");



    }
    private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            Log.i(TAG, "overrideurl");
            if (Uri.parse(url).getHost().equals("www.example.com")) {
                // This is my web site, so do not override; let my WebView load the page
                return false;
            }
            // Otherwise, the link is not for a page on my site, so launch another Activity that handles URLs
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
            startActivity(intent);
            return true;

        }


    }
}

In Logcat its reporting the webview is working however i am not seeing anything from the overrideURl. Any help is much appreciated.

Solution

Here is the answer.

 Uri uri = this.getIntent().getData();


    try {

        URL urls = new URL(uri.getScheme(), uri.getHost(), uri.getPort(), uri.getPath()+ "?"+ uri.getQuery());



        Log.i(TAG, String.valueOf(urls));

       webView.loadUrl(String.valueOf(urls));

    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

The shouldOverrideUrlLoadingis, I believe used for opening links withing the webview and is not looked at when the app is loaded from an url outside the app.
