Android open an EditText link using a button in Webview

I found this code in another post and I was wondering how I could make this url open in webView rather than the default Android browser.

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class LinkActivity extends Activity {

EditText txtLink;
Button btnOpenLink;
String defaultLink;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_link);

    defaultLink = "http://www.google.com";

    txtLink = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextLink);
    btnOpenLink = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonOpenLink);
    btnOpenLink.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            String page = txtLink.getText().toString();
            if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(page)){
                Uri uri = Uri.parse(defaultLink+"/"+page);
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
                startActivity(intent);
            }else{
                Toast.makeText(LinkActivity.this, "Please enter page on editText!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    });
}

}

I would like this url to open in the app itself and not open the browser to go to the link. Any help would definitely be appreciated. Thank you.

In your activity_link, add a WebView object like below,

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/web_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

and your LinkActivity should be look like below:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class LinkActivity extends Activity {

EditText txtLink;
Button btnOpenLink;
String defaultLink;
WebView mWebView;
String mUrl = "";
SharedPreferences mPrefs;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_link);

    mPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
    defaultLink = "http://www.google.com";

    mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_view);
    txtLink = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextLink);
    btnOpenLink = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonOpenLink);
    btnOpenLink.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            String page = txtLink.getText().toString();
            if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(page)){
                mUrl = defaultLink+"/"+page;
                mWebView.loadUrl(url);
            }else{
                Toast.makeText(LinkActivity.this, "Please enter page on editText!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    });
}

// This method will reloads the last opened page in the web view..!
@Override
protected void onResume()
{
    super.onResume();
    String url = mPrefs.getString("url", "");

    if (!url.equalsignorecase(""))
    {
        mUrl = url;
        txtLink.setText(url);
        mWebView.loadUrl(url);
    }
}

// And this will save the last loaded link in the Shared Preferences(Local Storage)
@Override
protected void onPause()
{
    super.onPause();
    mPrefs.edit().putString("url", mUrl).commit();
}
}

and for more info about the webview, should refer the below url: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html

To learn more about shared preferences, you can go on the below url:
