My webview is loading google chrome. When the user browses the webview app he can navigate to any links which is working fine. But when the user navigates to a link which contains pdf my webview fails to open or download the file. How can I achieve it?

public class WebViewPage extends AppCompatActivity {
WebView webView;
Button closeweb;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_web_view_page);

    webView =findViewById(R.id.webview);
    closeweb = findViewById(R.id.closeweb);
    WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);


     webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

    webView.loadUrl("any url");
     closeweb.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(WebViewPage.this, HomePage.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {

}
}
