I have read many Questions about this topic here at stackoverflow, also my solution come from here but it won't work. Also there is no error message.
I have a webview in Android and a Homepage, there are some mailto links, when I try to open the mailto links from my webview in a mailclient, the webview always open the mail address like a normal webpage.
Could someone look at my code and tell my what's wrong?
Thank's for your help.

EDIT:
If I try this I get the error message "The method replaseFirst(String) is undefined for the type String". In cause of this I changed url.replaseFirst to url.replaceFirst but his needs a secound argument so I have to write url.replaceFirst("mailto:", X );. For X I can type mail,url or null. I tryed everyone, by each I get the message that I have to add a return statement, so I did it with return false.
Now I have this code:
public class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if(url.startsWith("mailto:")) {
String mail = url.replaceFirst ("mailto:", mail);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("message/rfc822");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, mail );
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));
}
return false;
}
}
This does not work. So I try intent.setType("message/rfc822"); instead of intent.setType("text/plain"); but this also does not work.
What I have done wrong?
EDIT2:
new code:
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if(url.startsWith("mailto:")) {
String mail = url.replaceFirst("mailto:", "");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, mail );
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));
}
else if(url.startsWith("http:") || url.startsWith("https:")) {
view.loadUrl(url);
}
return true;
}
To force the open of mail client you can try that:
if(url.startsWith("mailto:")) {
String mail = url.replaceFirst("mailto:", "");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, mail );
// intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject"); // if you want extra
// intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "I'm email body."); // if you want extra
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Send Email"));
} else if ... {
// your code as is
}
but other "send" apps open too, depends of support of Intent.ACTION_SEND
Instead of intent.setType("text/plain"); here is suggested the use of intent.setType("message/rfc822"); but I have never tested.
Edit:
change lines of main.java:
// ...
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById (R.id.webView1);
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient()); // you name your class MyWebViewClient not WebViewClient
myWebView.loadUrl("WEBSITE"); // also change line order
// ...
