URL opened in browser instead of web view

Question

I am using below code to open a link in web view -

mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
            mWebView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            mWebView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
            mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
            mWebView.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
            mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
            mWebView.loadUrl(link);

But it opens the link in browser. I want that the url should only open in my web view. Is there any mistake in the code. Please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

You need to override WebViewClient of your webview and set it. Like it is mentioned in one of the comments on your question.

mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

And google first, you may not need to post the question.

You should init WebViewClient: mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient())

This might help:

 webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {  
      @Override  
      public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {  
        //set URL Here
        return false;  
      }  
    }
