How to configure Android webview to support UPI Payment

The UNIFIED PAYMENTS INTERFACE or Simply UPI is an easy payment system widely used in india. The android webview by default doesn’t support UPI Payment.

Most websites, especially online shopping websites are looking to build android application. To cut the cost of Android app development, some of them are turning to webview based apps. Webview based apps are easy to build, it simply shows the website in a WebView within a layout.

But, even if webview based apps are easy to build, there are some functions that require additional code to successful implementation of the functions. For example, file upload in webview doesn’t support out of the box, we need add some complex codes in the activity to support it, same goes for file download, file share, opening external application on clicking a link etc.

One common such error is the “Unknown URL Scheme”. This error can be fixed by adding additional handler codes to the activity where a webview is set up.

The unknown URL Scheme may be shown when you try to make a UPI Payment through a webview app, and it is very important to fix this. Because, what is the meaning of building an Android app for your website if it doesn’t support a payment system such as UPI? The app will be totally useless.
