Official documentation says, click on a link in a WebView will launch application that handles URLs. You need to override this default behavior
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return false;
}
});
or if there is no conditional logic in the method simply do this
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
