Hi Mark,
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, that does not work. The
link text becomes highlighted to indicate that it has been clicked,
but the URL is never loaded and the code in shouldOverrideUrlLoading
is never called. I am currently considering as an alternative using
my own subclass of WebView that overrides the onTouchEvent method and
then uses a HitTestResult to determine what has been selected by the
user. While this seems cumbersome at best, it might work....Any
thoughts on other workarounds?
Thanks very much,
Dave
