B4J Question WebView1_OverrideUrl in B4J !?

[ghadiri]

Hello,
I used a webview in B4A and I open the internal links loaded in the webview in the system’s default browser using the WebView1_OverrideUrl event. However, the WebView1_OverrideUrl event does not exist in B4J. How can I open links in the system’s default browser in B4J since this event is not available?

Sub WebView1_OverrideUrl(Url As String) As Boolean
    Dim i As Intent
    i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, Url)
    StartActivity(i)
    Return True
End Sub

Override Url in Webview

Hi, how can I get something similar to WebView1_OverrideUrl like B4a in B4J. I want to intercept/stop certain URL requests in my webview.

This answer is not correct for my question! I want in B4J when a link is clicked inside a WebView, that link should not open inside the WebView but rather in the default system browser like Chrome or Firefox.

This is the answer. There is no such feature in B4J WebView because the underlying JavaFX WebView doesn't support it.

Open the page using jShell and reload the WebView with original html.

Sub Class_Globals
    Private Root As B4XView
    Private xui As XUI
    Private WebView1 As WebView
    Private html As String
End Sub

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    html = $"<a href="https://www.w3schools.com">Open page in default browser</a>"$
    WebView1.LoadHtml(html)
End Sub

Private Sub WebView1_LocationChanged (Location As String)
    If Location.Contains("w3schools") Then
        Sleep(0)
        WebView1.LoadHtml(html)
        OpenBrowser(Location)
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub OpenBrowser (url As String)
    Dim shl As Shell
    shl.Initialize("shl", "cmd", Array As String("/c", "start", url))
    shl.Run(3000)
End Sub
