You have to create a subclass of WebViewClient and override mailto URL loading. Example:
public class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
private final WeakReference<Activity> mActivityRef;
public MyWebViewClient(Activity activity) {
mActivityRef = new WeakReference<Activity>(activity);
}
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if (url.startsWith("mailto:")) {
final Activity activity = mActivityRef.get();
if (activity != null) {
MailTo mt = MailTo.parse(url);
Intent i = newEmailIntent(activity, mt.getTo(), mt.getSubject(), mt.getBody(), mt.getCc());
activity.startActivity(i);
view.reload();
return true;
}
} else {
view.loadUrl(url);
}
return true;
}
private Intent newEmailIntent(Context context, String address, String subject, String body, String cc) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { address });
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, body);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, cc);
intent.setType("message/rfc822");
return intent;
}
}
Then you have to set this custom WebViewClient to your WabView:
webView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient(activity);
