This error is appeared because the WebView can’t recognize the special URL Scheme,

for example, the WebView will usually recognize http and https, anything other than these, for example – intent://, market://, app://, mail:// , whatsapp:// etc will not be recognized by WebView unless we add a handler to handle these url schemes, or by disabling these schemes and only load http and https schemes.

The Code to Fix err_unknown_url_scheme intent://

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
               String currentUrl;

               @Override
               public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                   currentUrl = url;

                   if (url.startsWith("http") || url.startsWith("https")) {
                       return false;
                   }
                   if (url.startsWith("intent")) {

                     try {
                         Intent intent = Intent.parseUri(url, Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME);

                         String fallbackUrl = intent.getStringExtra("browser_fallback_url");
                       if (fallbackUrl != null) {
                           webview.loadUrl(fallbackUrl);
                           return true;
                       }}
                   catch (URISyntaxException e) {
                       //not an intent uri
                   }
           return true;//do nothing in other cases
    }
