Why CordovaWebViewClient not working in Cordova 6 anymore

Question

I have written custom webviewclient class to override onPageStarted, onPageFinished etc in cordova 3.7 which was working fine.

In following code is I ha

Answer 1

Apache cordova removed CordovaWebViewClient inorder to support external webviews like Crosswalk. If you check out the 14 changed files link in the following commit link, you could see CordovaWebViewClient is removed and AndroidWebViewClient is added.

So i guess you cannot use the same old code work in Cordova 6.0

You can probably try using org.apache.cordova.engine.SystemWebViewClient instead.

Infact, the same question is answered here and it was also accepted. So i believe this is the possible solution to the issue. Hope it helps.
