shouldOverrideUrlLoading in WebView for Android not running

Question

Figured it out after some heavy searching - one person (I literally mean one) said they instead used onPageLoad(); which worked perfectly for my p

Answer 1

I've found what I think is a reasonable way to do this thanks to the previous answer and comments pointing me in the right direction.

What I did is override onPageStarted and onPageFinished in a custom WebViewClient. The code goes something like this...

@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
  if (pendingUrl == null) {
    pendingUrl = url;
  }
}

@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
  if (!url.equals(pendingUrl)) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Detected HTTP redirect " + pendingUrl + "->" + url);
    pendingUrl = null;
  }
}

And of course along with the Log.d you would put any specific code you want to run upon detecting the redirect.
