WebView only opens some URLs but not all

Question

When I make a call to my WebView and give it a URL I want it to open within the app (i.e. on my page) but it doesn't always do this.

Some pages will open within my app but others will open in the default android web browser.

Here's my code. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

WebView webView = ((WebView)findViewById(R.id.website));
WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);     
webView.loadUrl(website);

What URLs open, what URLs don't? – Whymarrh Sep 16 '12 at 18:12 — Whymarrh, Sep 16 '12 at 18:12

To override the default behavior, use something like:

private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }
}

More or less duplicate of the existing question Clicking URLs opens default browser?
