shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, url: String?): Boolean is now depricated.
Use shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, request: WebResourceRequest?): Boolean instead.

override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, request: WebResourceRequest?): Boolean {
    return if (request?.url?.scheme?.startsWith("tel") == true) {
        val intent: Intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, request.url)
        view?.context?.startActivity(intent)
        true
    } else {
        super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, request)
    }
}

public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {

        Log.i("TEST","URL 4: "+url);

        if (url.startsWith("http:") || url.startsWith("https:")) {
            view.loadUrl(url);
        }else if (url.startsWith("tel:")) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);

            // Send phone number to intent as data
            intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));

            // Start the dialer app activity with number
            startActivity(intent);
        }

            return true;

    }

Thanks JackTurky! Here's slightly more, to show how it fits with webView:

    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            if (url.startsWith("tel:")) { 
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse(url)); 
                    startActivity(intent); 
                    return true;
            }
            return false;
        }           
    });
