Having Android WebView detect and popup email dialog or phone call dialog

Question

On the android, when the built in browser comes across an email or a phone number and it is pressed, a dialog box comes up for each.

However, if i navigate to that url inside my Application's webview, this no longer is the case.

Is there anyway for my webview to exhibit the same properties as the browser application in detecting emails and phone numbers and popping up the respective default dialogs when pressed?

I know that the iPhone can do this with a checkbox in the Interface Builder very easily, I am hoping the android can do the same.

I have taken a look into such links as:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1744091/is-there-any-way-to-have-webview-auto-link-urls-and-phone-numbers-in-android

and using the function that interrupts the link click but that doesn't really help me because phone numbers and emails don't necessarily have to be linked.

Thanks in advanced for suggestions!
