I have tried to open both instagram and whatsapp using the following code.
Java Code :
mywebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView wv, String url) {
if(url.startsWith("tel:") || url.startsWith("whatsapp:")) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
else if(url.startsWith("intent://instagram.com")){
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://instagram.com/_u/user_id");
Intent insta = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
insta.setPackage("com.instagram.android");
startActivity(insta);
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://instagram.com/user_id")));
}
return false;
}
});
After clicking on Instagram link in webview I see Image1 :
After clicking on Open App in top right I get this for a second or two before instagram automatically opens. What changes should I make in order to not get the 2nd image?:
Add return true;
in instagram intent and remove
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://instagram.com/user_id")));
Updated code:-
else if(url.startsWith("intent://instagram.com")){
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://instagram.com/_u/user_id");
Intent insta = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
insta.setPackage("com.instagram.android");
startActivity(insta);
//startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW Uri.parse("http://instagram.com/user_id"))); // remove this line
return true;
}
