Answer 1

Use this it should help.`var currentUrl = "google.com" var partOfUrl = currentUrl.substring(0, currentUrl.length-2)

webView.setWebViewClient(object: WebViewClient() {

override fun onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
     //call loadUrl() method  here 
     // also check if url contains partOfUrl, if not load it differently.
     if(url.contains(partOfUrl, true)) {
         //it should work if you reach inside this if scope.
     } else if(!(currentUrl.startWith("w", true))) {
         webView.loadurl("www.$currentUrl")

     } else if(!(currentUrl.startWith("h", true))) {
         webView.loadurl("https://$currentUrl")

     } else { ...}


 }

override fun onReceivedSslError(view: WebView?, handler: SslErrorHandler?, error: SslError?) {
   // you can call again loadUrl from here too if there is any error.
}

//You should also override other override method for error such as onReceiveError to see how all these methods are called one after another and how they behave while debugging with break point. } `
