How to launch a web link from within my WebView in a registered app on Android? -


in android app, have webview. want every link click within webview launch registered app on device, if any, otherwise open in external browser. example, if user clicks on facebook page link within webview, should launch facebook app (if facebook registered on device handle facebook links). if no app registered, should launch external browser (i.e, should not load page in same webview).

currently (by default), webview loads link clicked within webview within itself.

i realize need override shouldoverrideurlloading intercept link clicks:

webview.setwebviewclient(new webviewclient() {     @override     public boolean shouldoverrideurlloading(webview view, string url) {         // should go here trigger registered app or fall external browser link clicks in webview?     } });

i looked @ intent filters, seems inverse of requirement (intent filters seem way me register my android app handle web clicks elsewhere).

update 1:

i not looking intercept particular host name or scheme - want every link clicked in web view 'delegated' android, android decides whether launch registered app, pop choice user pick app open in, or open in web browser, depending on user settings.

specifically, if click on link https://www.facebook.com/blah should launch in facebook app , take me blah page there.

the fix involved handling shouldoverrideurlloading true, , if url isn't within own app, returning true. when true returned, launches registered app or app chooser dialog or browser, depending on configured context.

    mwebview.setwebviewclient(new webviewclient()     {         @override         public boolean shouldoverrideurlloading(webview view, string url) {             boolean islocalurl = false;             try {                 url givenurl = new url(url);                 string host = givenurl.gethost();                 if(host.contains("myapp.com"))                     islocalurl = true;              } catch (malformedurlexception e) {               }             if (islocalurl)                 return super.shouldoverrideurlloading(view, url);             else             {                 intent intent = new intent(intent.action_view, uri.parse(url));                 startactivity(intent);                 return true;             }         }     }

i realized current status on android (i tested on miui 7 on xiaomi mi 4, based on android kitkat, forums indicate broadly true pre-marshmallow androids @ least) link facebook page in webview not open in facebook app. nor give user option open in facebook app. used work earlier, not work now. launches in browser if use above code. lot of misunderstanding happened because of this. works expected other sites (twitter, quora, etc.).

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

Image
i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)
