Thanks for the help. webview.setWebViewClient ( new WebViewClient() { public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { // do your handling codes here, which url is the requested url // probably you need to open that url rather than redirect: if (url.startsWith("tel:")) { startActivity(new Intent(Intent
