Prevent WebView.loadUrl() to open system browser

It's a simple example to load my a web page in WebView.

package com.blogspot.android_er.myapplicationwebview;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

WebView myWebView = findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView.loadUrl("http://android-er.blogspot.com/");
}
}


But, when the  myWebView.loadUrl("http://android-er.blogspot.com/") run, the app ask to load in system browser, not the in my WebView.

To solve it (work for me), set WebViewClient before loadUrl.

package com.blogspot.android_er.myapplicationwebview;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

WebView myWebView = findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

myWebView.loadUrl("http://android-er.blogspot.com/");
}
}



Layout XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
android:orientation="vertical">

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="android-er.blogspot.com"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

<WebView
android:id="@+id/webview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>

</LinearLayout>

uses-permission of "android.permission.INTERNET" is need to load from internet.
