Cannot Click on "Install" for Flickr for Android?

Android Programming (3rd Edition) 30. Browsing the Web and WebView
1

I’m attempting the second challenge at the end of chapter 30, so I modify the WebViewClient to override shouldOverrideUrlLoading: I log the call, then if the scheme is http or https, return false, otherwise create an intent, call startActivity, and return true.

My problem starts immediately, when I try to log the call before actually doing anything. When I click on an http/https link, no problem, I get a log message. But clicking on the “Install” button gives me nothing.

Now, if I don’t modify the WebViewClient, I get the expected error message about “market://…” when I click “Install”, so the button is clickable in the WebView.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks.

StartActivity crashes in the following code. If the scheme is “http” or “https”, everything works fine, but when I click a link whose scheme is “market”, application crashes. The following code is called from public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)

    if (uri.getScheme().equals("http") || uri.getScheme().equals("https")) {         
        return false;
    } else {
        final Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
        startActivity(i);
        return true;
    }

Hi, I face problems when I work with this challenge. After sometimes, I found the solution in stackoverflow
I would like to share it with you:
