You should update your's WebViewClient with the following:

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") 
@Override 
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    proceedUrl(view, Uri.parse(url))
    return true; 
} 

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
@Override 
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
    proceedUrl(view, request.getUrl());
    return true; 
}

private void proceedUrl(View view, Uri uri){  
    if (uri.toString().startsWith("mailto:")) {
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, uri));
    } else if (uri.toString().startsWith("tel:")) {
        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, uri));
    } else { 
        view.loadUrl(uri.toString());
    } 
}
