Android WebView loadDataWithBaseURL with link equals BaseURL works incorrectly

I load HTML to my WebView with 

this.webViewer.loadDataWithBaseURL(BASE_URL, completeNewsTemplate,
                "text/html", "UTF-8", null);

Where BASE_URL = "http://www.example.ru" i use it for WebView loading images with relative images src's

if in HTML soruce i got href link like

<a href="http://www.example.ru" target="_blank">Example</a>

Then it's just reload current webview, and target attribute does make anything for open new window.

How make webview open link in new window?

Here is solution.

If your link equals base url WebView think that you want work with current page only.

You can try catch it like

webViewer.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            @Override
            public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
                System.out
                    .println("DetailViewActivity.onCreate(...).new WebViewClient() {...}.onPageStarted()");
                    super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);

            }

            @Override
            public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
                            System.out
                    .println("DetailViewActivity.onCreate(...).new WebViewClient() {...}.onPageFinished()");
                super.onPageFinished(view, url);

            }

            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            System.out
                    .println("DetailViewActivity.onCreate(...).new WebViewClient() {...}.shouldOverrideUrlLoading()");
                return false;

            }

        });

But then you click to your link in webView you never get fired shouldOverrideUrlLoading or onPageStarted only onPageFinished with your base_url.

So my solition is use for base url another domain without www prefix.

Here example if you domain www.example.com use base url example.com
