I have an app that opens my webpages in the same intent and within the same webview. Now, I have a certain page that I want it to open in browser when user requests it. Is that possible? Here is my Code:

 WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
    WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    myWebView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(true);
    myWebView.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true);
    myWebView.loadUrl("https://mywebpage.me");
    String url = myWebView.getUrl();

myWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

and if the user navigates to https//:mywebpage.me/About.html i want it to show in browser.

You should listen for navigation event.

  1. Create WebViewClient

    private class MyClient extends WebViewClient {

    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        if(url.equals(PUT_YOUR_URL_HERE)) {
            startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)));
            return true;
        }  

        return false;
    }
}

  2. Pass it to WebView

    myWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyClient());

By the way, this method was deprecated in API level 24.
