Android, catch webview redirection url

My web view loads a url that - after completing loading - gets changed to another url. how can I catch the new url. getURL() always returns the 1st url not the second. I can see the new URL if i use a browser but I can't get if from the webview.

You must get the onPageFinished method with javascript interface

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
  @Override
  public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
    webView.loadUrl("javascript:window.Android.onUrlChange(window.location.href);");
    
    super.onPageFinished(view, url);
  }
});

public class WebAppInterface {
  Context mContext;
    
  WebAppInterface(Context c) {
    mContext = c;
  }
    
  @JavascriptInterface
  public void onUrlChange(String url) {
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), url, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
}

In my case WebViewClient wasn't showing if there was changes on the webview, I supposed that is something about the web that is been running.

I could get that information from the WebChromeClient with OnProgressChanged, I don't know if this would help people anyway, but here is the code:

webview.webChromeClient = object : WebChromeClient(){

    override fun onProgressChanged(view: WebView?, newProgress: Int) {
        super.onProgressChanged(view, newProgress)

        if (newProgress == 100) {
            Log.d("testing", webview.getOriginalUrl())
            Log.d("testing", webview.url)
        }
    }
}

This way I could know what is been loaded and when is finished.

You could use a webClient and implement shouldOverrideUrlLoading to intercept all the urls before the WebView loads them.

    mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {


        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
           // Here put your code
              Log.d("My Webview", url);

           // return true; //Indicates WebView to NOT load the url;
              return false; //Allow WebView to load url
        }
    });

Use

getOriginalUrl ()

It returns the URL that was originally requested for the current page

getUrl () is not always the same as the URL passed to WebViewClient.onPageStarted because although the load for that URL has begun, the current page may not have changed.

getOriginalUrl () gets the original URL for the current page. This is not always the same as the URL passed to WebViewClient.onPageStarted because although the load for that URL has begun, the current page may not have changed. Also, there may have been redirects resulting in a different URL to that originally requested.
