How to open Android's default webbrowser when clicking a link in webview

Webview

You might be able to catch the event in overrideurl event and then call the defalt browser from the overrideurl event.

Thanks,

Thanks Margret.

So that's the purpose of OverrideUrl. Will try it when I get back home from work.

Hmm..I can't get this to work. I am unable to catch the event when a user clicks on a http_link within my webview (which originally loaded a local stored html-page).

In the Activity_Create sub I added:

webview1.Initialize("test")

Then I created a sub (where I hoped to catch the event of clicking on a HTTP-link and retrieve the corresponding URL) as follows:

Sub test_OverrideUrl (Url As String) As Boolean
Log("debug: " & url)
End Sub

Click to expand...

There must be something I haven't understood. Anyone who can shed some light or post an example?

Your test_OverrideUrl Sub looks fine to me.

Can you post your entire project - the error must be elsewhere.

My bad :BangHead: :BangHead:

I was using the wrong event-name in my code. Corrected it and now everything is OK.

Sorry for making you loose your time.
