howto handle mailto: in android webview

Question

I am trying to intercept mailto: links in an embedded webview in my app. What I have is working ok, except when the user presses the link it is blurred upon returning to the app. Here is what I am doing in my WebViewClient

    @Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    if(url.startsWith("mailto:")){
        url = url.replaceFirst("mailto:", "");
        url = url.trim();
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        i.setType("plain/text").putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{url});
        context.startActivity(i);
        return true;
    }
    context.findViewById(R.id.loadingBar).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    view.loadUrl(url);
    return true;
}

If I do a view.reload() it does fix the problem, but is there a better way to fix it without wasting the bandwidth? I tried invalidate() but it didn't work.

here is an example of what I'm talking about
