Can't open pdf in Webview , No Activity found to handle Intent error

Question

I made a lot of searching before asking here.

I cant open a pdf in my Webview , i had the following error : No Activity found to handle Intent error.

Here is the code of the WebBrowser activity :

webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {

public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
   activity.setProgress(progress * 100);
     }
     });

 webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
   public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
          if (url.endsWith("pdf")) {

      Intent intentUrl = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
          intentUrl.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(url),MIME_TYPE_PDF); 
         startActivity(intentUrl);

        }
                  else{
              view.loadUrl(url);
          }
              return true;
          }

public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
     //Users will be notified in case there's an error (i.e. no internet connection)
     Toast.makeText(activity, "Oops! Connexion inexistante ou " + description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
     });  

  //This will load the webpage that we want to see
  webview.setPictureListener(this);
  webview.loadUrl(WebAddress);  
}

Here is the manifest xml :

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/VisitEnsta">
     <activity android:name=".SplashScreen" 
              android:label="@string/app_name">

         <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />

        </intent-filter>

Here is the code which i have used to view the pdf file in webview. Please check it .

WebView webview=new WebView(SpecialityAllManuals.this);
                        webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
