WebViewClient

WebViewClient ()

doUpdateVisitedHistory

void doUpdateVisitedHistory (WebView view, 
                String url, 
                boolean isReload)

Notify the host application to update its visited links database.

onFormResubmission

void onFormResubmission (WebView view, 
                Message dontResend, 
                Message resend)

As the host application if the browser should resend data as the requested page was a result of a POST. The default is to not resend the data.

onLoadResource

void onLoadResource (WebView view, 
                String url)

Notify the host application that the WebView will load the resource specified by the given url.

onPageCommitVisible

void onPageCommitVisible (WebView view, 
                String url)

Notify the host application that WebView content left over from previous page navigations will no longer be drawn.

This callback can be used to determine the point at which it is safe to make a recycled WebView visible, ensuring that no stale content is shown. It is called at the earliest point at which it can be guaranteed that onDraw(Canvas) will no longer draw any content from previous navigations. The next draw will display either the background color of the WebView, or some of the contents of the newly loaded page.

This method is called when the body of the HTTP response has started loading, is reflected in the DOM, and will be visible in subsequent draws. This callback occurs early in the document loading process, and as such you should expect that linked resources (for example, css and images) may not be available.

For more fine-grained notification of visual state updates, see postVisualStateCallback(long, WebView.VisualStateCallback).

Please note that all the conditions and recommendations applicable to postVisualStateCallback(long, WebView.VisualStateCallback) also apply to this API.

This callback is only called for main frame navigations.

onPageFinished

void onPageFinished (WebView view, 
                String url)

Notify the host application that a page has finished loading. This method is called only for main frame. When onPageFinished() is called, the rendering picture may not be updated yet. To get the notification for the new Picture, use onNewPicture(WebView, Picture).

onPageStarted

void onPageStarted (WebView view, 
                String url, 
                Bitmap favicon)

Notify the host application that a page has started loading. This method is called once for each main frame load so a page with iframes or framesets will call onPageStarted one time for the main frame. This also means that onPageStarted will not be called when the contents of an embedded frame changes, i.e. clicking a link whose target is an iframe, it will also not be called for fragment navigations (navigations to #fragment_id).

onReceivedClientCertRequest

void onReceivedClientCertRequest (WebView view, 
                ClientCertRequest request)

Notify the host application to handle a SSL client certificate request. The host application is responsible for showing the UI if desired and providing the keys. There are three ways to respond: proceed(), cancel() or ignore(). Webview stores the response in memory (for the life of the application) if proceed() or cancel() is called and does not call onReceivedClientCertRequest() again for the same host and port pair. Webview does not store the response if ignore() is called. Note that, multiple layers in chromium network stack might be caching the responses, so the behavior for ignore is only a best case effort. This method is called on the UI thread. During the callback, the connection is suspended. For most use cases, the application program should implement the KeyChainAliasCallback interface and pass it to choosePrivateKeyAlias(Activity, KeyChainAliasCallback, String[], Principal[], Uri, String) to start an activity for the user to choose the proper alias. The keychain activity will provide the alias through the callback method in the implemented interface. Next the application should create an async task to call getPrivateKey(Context, String) to receive the key. An example implementation of client certificates can be seen at AOSP Browser The default behavior is to cancel, returning no client certificate.

onReceivedError

void onReceivedError (WebView view, 
                int errorCode, 
                String description, 
                String failingUrl)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
Use onReceivedError(WebView, WebResourceRequest, WebResourceError) instead.

Report an error to the host application. These errors are unrecoverable (i.e. the main resource is unavailable). The errorCode parameter corresponds to one of the ERROR_* constants.

onReceivedError

void onReceivedError (WebView view, 
                WebResourceRequest request, 
                WebResourceError error)

Report web resource loading error to the host application. These errors usually indicate inability to connect to the server. Note that unlike the deprecated version of the callback, the new version will be called for any resource (iframe, image, etc), not just for the main page. Thus, it is recommended to perform minimum required work in this callback.

onReceivedHttpAuthRequest

void onReceivedHttpAuthRequest (WebView view, 
                HttpAuthHandler handler, 
                String host, 
                String realm)

Notifies the host application that the WebView received an HTTP authentication request. The host application can use the supplied HttpAuthHandler to set the WebView's response to the request. The default behavior is to cancel the request.

onReceivedHttpError

void onReceivedHttpError (WebView view, 
                WebResourceRequest request, 
                WebResourceResponse errorResponse)

Notify the host application that an HTTP error has been received from the server while loading a resource. HTTP errors have status codes >= 400. This callback will be called for any resource (iframe, image, etc), not just for the main page. Thus, it is recommended to perform minimum required work in this callback. Note that the content of the server response may not be provided within the errorResponse parameter.

onReceivedLoginRequest

void onReceivedLoginRequest (WebView view, 
                String realm, 
                String account, 
                String args)

Notify the host application that a request to automatically log in the user has been processed.

onReceivedSslError

void onReceivedSslError (WebView view, 
                SslErrorHandler handler, 
                SslError error)

Notify the host application that an SSL error occurred while loading a resource. The host application must call either handler.cancel() or handler.proceed(). Note that the decision may be retained for use in response to future SSL errors. The default behavior is to cancel the load.

onScaleChanged

void onScaleChanged (WebView view, 
                float oldScale, 
                float newScale)

Notify the host application that the scale applied to the WebView has changed.

onTooManyRedirects

void onTooManyRedirects (WebView view, 
                Message cancelMsg, 
                Message continueMsg)

This method was deprecated in API level 8.
This method is no longer called. When the WebView encounters a redirect loop, it will cancel the load.

Notify the host application that there have been an excessive number of HTTP redirects. As the host application if it would like to continue trying to load the resource. The default behavior is to send the cancel message.

onUnhandledKeyEvent

void onUnhandledKeyEvent (WebView view, 
                KeyEvent event)

Notify the host application that a key was not handled by the WebView. Except system keys, WebView always consumes the keys in the normal flow or if shouldOverrideKeyEvent returns true. This is called asynchronously from where the key is dispatched. It gives the host application a chance to handle the unhandled key events.

shouldInterceptRequest

WebResourceResponse shouldInterceptRequest (WebView view, 
                WebResourceRequest request)

Notify the host application of a resource request and allow the application to return the data. If the return value is null, the WebView will continue to load the resource as usual. Otherwise, the return response and data will be used. NOTE: This method is called on a thread other than the UI thread so clients should exercise caution when accessing private data or the view system.

shouldInterceptRequest

WebResourceResponse shouldInterceptRequest (WebView view, 
                String url)

This method was deprecated in API level 21.
Use shouldInterceptRequest(WebView, WebResourceRequest) instead.

Notify the host application of a resource request and allow the application to return the data. If the return value is null, the WebView will continue to load the resource as usual. Otherwise, the return response and data will be used. NOTE: This method is called on a thread other than the UI thread so clients should exercise caution when accessing private data or the view system.

shouldOverrideKeyEvent

boolean shouldOverrideKeyEvent (WebView view, 
                KeyEvent event)

Give the host application a chance to handle the key event synchronously. e.g. menu shortcut key events need to be filtered this way. If return true, WebView will not handle the key event. If return false, WebView will always handle the key event, so none of the super in the view chain will see the key event. The default behavior returns false.

shouldOverrideUrlLoading

boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, 
                WebResourceRequest request)

Give the host application a chance to take over the control when a new url is about to be loaded in the current WebView. If WebViewClient is not provided, by default WebView will ask Activity Manager to choose the proper handler for the url. If WebViewClient is provided, return true means the host application handles the url, while return false means the current WebView handles the url.

Notes:

• This method is not called for requests using the POST "method".
• This method is also called for subframes with non-http schemes, thus it is strongly disadvised to unconditionally call loadUrl(String) with the request's url from inside the method and then return true, as this will make WebView to attempt loading a non-http url, and thus fail.

shouldOverrideUrlLoading

boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, 
                String url)

This method was deprecated in API level 24.
Use shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView, WebResourceRequest) instead.

Give the host application a chance to take over the control when a new url is about to be loaded in the current WebView. If WebViewClient is not provided, by default WebView will ask Activity Manager to choose the proper handler for the url. If WebViewClient is provided, return true means the host application handles the url, while return false means the current WebView handles the url. This method is not called for requests using the POST "method".
