Hi Guys, for the blog reader app, the app work when i try to view the treehouse blog site inside of an activity as a webview. But when i try the itunes url or other websites, it doesnt show the content inside of my activity, instead it opens chrome. Now i dont know if this is normal or do i have to add some code for that, thanks. below is the code in the activity i am implementing the webview, thanks

package com.paveynganpi.applestorefeed;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.webkit.WebView;


public class AppleFeedWebViewActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_apple_feed_web_view);

        //get the intent from MainListActivity.java
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        Uri appleFeedUri = intent.getData();

        WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
        webView.loadUrl(appleFeedUri.toString());

    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_apple_feed_web_view, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}
