    text
    copied!<p>I have some <code>WebView</code> widgets inside my <code>Activity</code>. I use <code>loadData()</code> to set the content, and this html contains a link. Some of my <code>WebViews</code> work okay, when I click the link, the web browser is started in a new window, but some make my app crash when I click on a link.</p> <pre><code>10-13 08:45:24.257: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(751): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception 10-13 08:45:24.308: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(751): android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag.
