WebViewClient onReceivedError deprecated, new version does not detect all errors

Question

In the Android SDK 23 onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) has been deprecated and replaced with onReceived

Answer 1

You could also do following:

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
    // Handle the error
}

@TargetApi(android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
@Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, WebResourceRequest req, WebResourceError rerr) {
    // Redirect to deprecated method, so you can use it in all SDK versions
    onReceivedError(view, rerr.getErrorCode(), rerr.getDescription().toString(), req.getUrl().toString());
}

Make sure you import android.annotation.TargetApi

Happy coding!
