Hi, i have this error on My note 3, Android 5.0
"net: ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME"
I'm trying to open Mail or SopCast link's that need to open in external android app.
Please if you can do something to not have this problem anymore. I thins is from app permissions.
Thank you !

The error is about the "URL scheme", it's either incorrect or you don't have the right application that handle it.

This has nothing to do with app permissions as you don't use any internal API calls, you just use regular crappy URLs.

I have the right application installed. I tried with another Android app from another Android online generator (i can give you name but i don't want to make spam) and all is working good, but that app is expensive. And if i try to acces from android explorers (chrome, firefox), that link's opens with the right applications. But with appyet web mobule, i have this error. First time when acces the page with web module, and click on link's, Android open the right aplication, but if you get back on webmodule and try with another link, i get this error until i refresh the page then i can acces the link once again.

Thank you !

So, the webview only catches the first link, any link after that is broken. sounds like a system webview issue... lately it has been full of bugs since version 46 - 47

"net: ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME"
The net err_unknown_url_scheme error is often detected due to an incompatibility between the protocols involved in web browsers and programs. In most cases 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.There's no application on your device which can handle that particular action. It is a Chromium bug . In Chrome version 40 and up, this bug has resurfaced, but only if you are manually entering the URL of the redirect page in the address bar.

This error has one temporary solution. When the error gets encountered you need to backward and click to open the page again. Might this solution can temporarily move you away from this recent err_unknown_url_scheme on chrome and android. You may get this error during mailto: or tel: links inside an iframe. To solve it, try to add target="_blank" in your URL Scheme/Code.
