[android-developers] Anchor link on iframe inside mobile's webview not working.

[m***@gmail.com]

Hi All, below is the screenshot of html page which is loaded via iframe
inside mobile app. The anchor link in the question is supposed to open new
window in the mobile browser and it works fine on ios app but does not
works on android mobile app. Does anyone has any idea on why it cannot
open the link in the browser. The anchor tag looks like this <a
href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Anchor link</a>

<Loading Image...>

























Thanks

If you're using a webview, check your implementation of
shouldOverrideUrlLoading
<https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebViewClient.html#shouldOverrideUrlLoading(android.webkit.WebView,
java.lang.String)>.

Thank you TreKing for your suggestion, but my case is little different. We
insert our iframe into our clients mobile app and have only control over
iframe and the anchor link inside the iframe.

What do you mean you insert your iframe into your clients mobile apps?

I mean, we give javascript to our client and they insert this javascript
into their web or mobile app. This javascript then creates a iframe and
makes the call to our server. I hope this was helpful.

Then it sounds like you need to have a conversation with your client about
how they're using your javascript.
