How can I know that some text contain "http://www." I want to show domain in Web View. Domain name is written in TextView but there is no restriction to add prefix. If user didn't enter it I have to add and display URL in webview.

You can do like this

String url = textView.getText().toString();
if(!url.startsWith("www.")&& !url.startsWith("http://")){
  url = "www."+url;
}
if(!url.startsWith("http://")){
  url = "http://"+url;
}

You can use this url to display content in WebView

Hope this will solve your problem
