how to override shouldOverrideUrlLoading to limit webView to single domain?

[Mohammad699]

Hi, In the default webView we can override shouldOverrideUrlLoading like this

` @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { if (Uri.parse(url).getHost().endsWith("doblist.com")) { return false; }

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
    view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
    return true;
}

`

to open external links in the default browser. I tried this with addPermittedHostname{"my-site.com") but it handles my site's sub folders as external links. it opens my-site.com/forum in a new tab or browser. How to solve this?

Thanks for your report!

Can you try

compile 'com.github.delight-im:Android-AdvancedWebView:2bd3e0534c36c5c046e5af6c039ce35eeb2addfb'

instead of

compile 'com.github.delight-im:Android-AdvancedWebView:v2.1.0'

please? Does this help?

@mwaclawek This solved the problem but is it save to use this version and publish the app on the store?

Thanks, great to hear that it works!

Yes, that should be safe. Nevertheless, there's now a new release that you can use:

compile 'com.github.delight-im:Android-AdvancedWebView:v2.1.1'

By the way, once you compiled your app and created the APK, it's always safe. At that point, the dependency is "baked in" to your app.

Disculpa cual fue el codigo que utilizaste me pasa lo mismo (se nota que soy nuevo como puedo saber a que se refieren con: compile 'com.github.delight-im:Android-AdvancedWebView:v2.1.1' ?)

Just follow the README and use the latest version of this library, or at least v2.1.1.
