Making call is not working on Android WebView

Question

I've tried almost every kind of help on google, but it's still not working on my project.

I'm trying to make a website to an Android Web App, and there's <a href="tel:> tag on the website when the browser's window has become small size.

When I make it as an Android Web Application, the phonecall is not working even though I did the right way that other people guided me to do. The Application keep shows me "This page is not available"

Asking for your help!

Below is my code

[MainActivity.java]

package com.example.user.webviewtest;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    private WebView mWebView;
    private String mCurrentUrl;
    /**

     */
    private GoogleApiClient client;

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

        mWebView = (WebView) this.findViewById(R.id.webView);

        String url = "http://dongari.or.kr/handongdae/";

        mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        mWebView.loadUrl(url);

        mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

        });

        mCurrentUrl = null;
        // ATTENTION: This was auto-generated to implement the App Indexing API.
        // See https://g.co/AppIndexing/AndroidStudio for more information.
        client = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this).addApi(AppIndex.API).build();
    }

    @Override

        super.onStart();

        // ATTENTION: This was auto-generated to implement the App Indexing API.
        // See https://g.co/AppIndexing/AndroidStudio for more information.
        client.connect();
        Action viewAction = Action.newAction(
                Action.TYPE_VIEW, // TODO: choose an action type.
                "Main Page", // TODO: Define a title for the content shown.

        );
        AppIndex.AppIndexApi.start(client, viewAction);
    }

        );
        AppIndex.AppIndexApi.end(client, viewAction);
        client.disconnect();
    }

    private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        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;
            }

            if (mCurrentUrl != null && url != null && url.equals(mCurrentUrl)) {

            } else {
                view.loadUrl(url);
                mCurrentUrl = url;
            }

            return true;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {
            mWebView.goBack();
            return true;

you should return false

this will work fine for you:

private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        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;
        }
    }

i had setup in this way :

    webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient(){


 public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView viewx, String urlx)
            {
               // viewx.loadUrl(urlx);
               // return false;



                if (urlx.startsWith("tel:")) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse(urlx));
                    startActivity(intent);
                    return true;
                }

                if(Uri.parse(urlx).getHost().endsWith("google.com")) {

                    return true;
                }

               Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(urlx));
                viewx.getContext().startActivity(intent);


                return false;


            }

        });

the tel call had to be called before google.com call.
