I'm writing a Android app which uses WebViews for some of it's content. In at least Android 2.1 and 2.2, it appears the web-view has a feature that turns text that looks like addresses into clickable links of the form "geo:...". I've also something similar with phone numbers.
However, in many cases the text is not actually an address or phone number.
I have been unable to find a setting in the WebView settings that allows for turning this feature off. Since I sometimes launch activities for real address and phone number links, I have taken to catching the inevitable exception when these malformed links are treated as URI's for proper Intents.
The green frame that sometimes appears around these pseudo-links is also annoying.
