In a WebView is there a way for shouldOverrideUrlLoading to determine if it is catching a redirect vs. a user clicking a link?

Question

I would like to allow redirects to happen naturally in the WebView and only catch a new url if it is a happening because a user clicked something.

You can do as follow:

@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, String url) {
    if (webView.getUrl() != null && webView.getOriginalUrl() != null && webView.getOriginalUrl().equalsIgnoreCase(webView.getUrl()) {
        // Not Redirect
    } else {
        // Redirect
    }
}
