[android-developers] Re: WebView request monitoring
Thanks Mark. I notice this call works when I use loadData() but not when I use loadUrl(). In this case, it never gets called. I've searched a number of posts with people asking this, but haven't found a solution. Any ideas?

I open up an Activity with a WebView, and load up a URL which allows the user to fill in a form, going through a series of pages. I need to monitor the requests, to look at what stage of the process they're at, then act at a certain point. How can I get hold of the requests made by the WebView please? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

It does not get called for the initial URL. I suppose they assume that if you are telling Android to load the URL, you don't need to be notified about it again. But it most certainly gets called for any normal links you click on. I just tested this to confirm. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: WebView request monitoring
Hmm. You're right, of course, at least for some normal URL. But it doesn't work for mine. The URL I'm using is https... would that make a difference?

Ah... that would be it then. This form is definitely posting data. Sooo... where do I go from here!

If you have control over the Web content, you could use addJavascriptInterface() and arrange for communications that way. Note that addJavascriptInterface() is broken in the 2.3 emulator, though apparently not on the Nexus S. Or, switch to using GET on your forms. Beyond that, I have no ideas off the top o' my head. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
