private void startWebView(String url)
{
        webview.loadUrl(url);

webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
        public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress)
        {
            url_.setText(view.getUrl());//here you get url
        }
    });
}

Perhaps I'm not correctly understanding your question, but it sounds like you want to save the url parameter that is being loaded by your OurViewClient every time the url changes, correct? I think you can do this with the following:

public class OurWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
  private String currentUrl;

  // ... Existing code ...

  @Override
  public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
    super.onLoadResource(view, url);
    this.currentUrl = url;
  }


  // Since the variable is private, we provide an accessor
  public String getUrl() {
    return this.currentUrl;
  }
}

This is pretty much taken directly from the WebViewClient docs, and there are a number of other observer methods you can override.
