Define shouldOverrideUrlLoading to load URL in desired app?

Is there a way to define shouldOverrideUrlLoading so that I can load URL in a specific external app.

I have a web app displayed in webview and I need to load some video files externally in some other video player instead of default android media player.

Here is the current code:

private class MainWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webview, String url) {
            Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            i.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(url), "video/mp4");
            startActivity(i);
            return true;
        }
}

Thanks in advance.

    WebView mWebView;
    mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);      
    mWebView.setWebViewClient(new GeoWebViewClient());
    mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
    mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);       
    mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new GeoWebChromeClient()); 
    mWebView.loadUrl("http://.....");

     public class GeoWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
   @Override    
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { 
   view.loadUrl(url);             
    return true;    
    }   
   }

You have to use onShowCustomView instead. Read more here under "HTML5 Video support".
