How to open a web browser in WebView app when an external link is clicked?

Question

I want to open external links in web browser using intent and should not open in my WebView app except my internal links starts with "https://www.ecommerce.in/"
I have written code as given below:

@Override
 public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) 
 {
  if (!url.contains("https://www.ecommerce.in/")) 
  {
   Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
   startActivity(Intent.createChooser(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri), "Choose browser"));
   view.loadUrl(url);
   CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true);
  } else {
          webViewProduct.loadUrl(url);
          return true;
         }
 }    

This code is working perfectly as I want but the problem is when I pressed back button on web browser the same external link is opening in my WebView app.

Please let me know where I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

You should have to remove view.loadUrl(url) from you code , So

Please replace your code as given below

@Override
 public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) 
 {
  if (!url.contains("https://www.ecommerce.in/")) 
  {
   Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
   startActivity(Intent.createChooser(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri), "Choose browser"));

   CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true);
  } else {
          webViewProduct.loadUrl(url);
          return true;
         }
 }
