question

The response to the forum post threadID=2857 indicates it is allowable to launch URL hyperlinks into the Silk browser for hybrid apps. [1] Using an Html anchor element works for ver 2 WebAppTester: i.e. a href=" http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/" target="_blank" and I was able to do so inside a hybrid app Kindle OS 7.4.6 prior to including the new Amazon WebView libs [2] webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, String url) { return false; Now, those same links are locked inside my hybrid attempt, despite not having present this override method @Override shouldOverrideUrlLoading() Since 'return false' should block URLs loading into Silk, not having the method should not be able to provide the blocking, thus allowing the launch into the Silk browser. This does not occur. I attempted to 'return true' inside an override method, but are unable to compile within the Amazon WebView. I attempted many variants but unable to guess the syntax for the Amazon flavors for WebViewClient() Eclipse err: "The method setWebViewClient(AmazonWebViewClient) in the type AmazonWebView is not applicable for the arguments (new WebViewClient(){}) The only documentation content I was able to locate via amazon search on Html5 hybrid apps [3] I also note that there has been a Kindle OS upgrade to 7.4.9 from 7.4.6 What is the correct syntax and code method placement to allow launching URLs into a Silk browser instance?
