WebView and mailto link

Issue

Problem resolved, I forgot to add this line:

myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

I havew a WebView with a email link.

Here is my HTML email link:

 href="javascript:location.href='mailto:'+String.fromCharCode(97,110,105,109,97,108,115,64,109,100,112,105,46,99,111,109)+'?'">[email protected]</a>.</p>

I am trying to catch when the user clicks on this link with this code:

myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
        {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView wv, String url) {
        if(url.contains("mailto")){
            System.out.println("mailto");
        }
    return true;
    }                      
    });

But I am never entering in the if.

Solution

Here is the solution

myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
{
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView wv, String url) {
        if(url.contains("mailto")){
            System.out.println("mailto");
        }
        return true;
    }                      
});
