title: Can I open whatsapp app from android webview
body: <p>I have made a web-view of a website. Now I want to share some data from my web-view to whatsapp app. I was able to open whatsapp web, but my client wants me to open whatsapp application instead of whatsapp web. How can I do that?</p>
  
  <p>This is what I have done to open whatsapp web in my site:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;a class="social-icon whatsapp" 
    href="javascript:popWin('https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Product%20Name:-&lt;?php echo $productName; ?&gt;.%20Product%20link:-&lt;?php echo $productUrl; ?&gt;', 'whatsapp', 'width=640, height=480, left=0, top=0, location=no, status=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes');"
    title="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;__('Share on Whatsapp') ?&gt;" 
    data-action="share/whatsapp/share"&gt;
    &lt;span&gt;&lt;i class="fa fa-whatsapp"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
