WebView loads a google form, link in google form does not open

Question

I have a webview where I perfectly load a google form. In the google form there is a link that redirect to a web page, something like "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.mywebsite.com/support/" but no matter what I do I cannot open this link. Everything else work fine.

    WebSettings webSettings = supportWebPageWebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

    supportWebPageWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            //do stuff
        }

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                view.loadUrl(url);
                return true;
             }

        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, final String url) {
            //do stuff
        }
    });

The only way to make it work is open the link in a browser. Anyone had the same problem?

What are the values of the ```ulr``` in the ```shouldOverrideUrl...``` ? — danypata, Jan 04 '17 at 12:39
Is this one "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.mywebsite.com/support/" — Shilaghae, Jan 04 '17 at 12:41
The ```shouldOverrideUrl..``` is called multiple times for the same URL ? The one with ```mywebsite...```. — danypata, Jan 04 '17 at 12:47
