Android WebView Opens links in browser instead of app [duplicate]

Question

I followed this tutorial: http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/android/core/ui/webview/android-webview-example/

Every time I click on a link in the webview, it takes me out of the webview and into a separate browser window. How do I get all the links to open in the webview?

You need to implement setWebViewClient(....) like so.

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
        }
});
