Return back host application after submiting form data from WebView

Question

I am developing a android application, Within the application I am trying to Load a URL using WEBVIEW. Afer i submit the data in the opened webpage, it gets redirected to some other URL. My requirement is to get the complete Redirected URL within my android application.

I didnt see any events/ API methods which can be used to notify URL Redirect.

Are there any way to listen for URL redirects within my application and then retrieve the URL.

Answer 1

you can identify the redirection using webClient just set webclient on your webview

like below

    myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()       
            {
                 @Override
                public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) 
                {

                    //do your stuff here 
                    if(url.equalsIgnoreCase("your redirect url "))
                    {
                      return false;
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            });
