You can override the URL link clicks and open an activity on each click:

    webView = new WebView(this);
    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
        {
            // Override URL
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
            {
                Intent intent = new Intent(...);
                startActivity(intent);
                return true;
            }
        });

  • How do I get that link and pass it to webView.loadUrl(url); (in second activity)? – Eljas Feb 22 '12 at 02:15

    You can pass in the URL as an extra with your intent. Then in your second activity, you can extract the extra (URL) and create another webview and load that URL. See here for more info about intents and extras: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4233873/how-to-get-extra-data-from-intent-in-android – triad Feb 22 '12 at 17:43
