Links like these use redirects. When they are accessed, the URL changes, being handled either by an app of platform if it is installed or by the platform's website. It seems to me that he's not dealing with it well and when he switches to an intent or something similar, he doesn't do anything.

The result is an empty webview, with nothing in it.

I would like to check the possibility of either not opening the app and opening the final link of the website in the webview or even activating the app, but without using a call to the browser to do so. Is there any way?

the site can recognize an android webview (you might want to try changing the user-agent). when this occurs, it redirects the user to a url whose scheme is "intent://". this is meant to launch the appropriate app on the user's device. you can possibly work around this by intercepting webview client's shouldOverrideUrlLoading method.
obviously you could change the scheme to https://, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get a webpage as a result. by using "intent" deep-linking, the site wants to launch an app, not serve a webpage. by changing the user agent, you might get a few steps further, but the site is expecting you to have that app. if you use shouldOverrideUrlLoading, you would return true (to abort the loading) and then launch the app. when the site detects a desktop browser, it just does a normal redirect.
