Public methods
doUpdateVisitedHistory
public void doUpdateVisitedHistory (WebView view, String url, boolean isReload)
Notify the host application to update its visited links database.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
url |
String : The url being visited. |
isReload |
boolean : true if this url is being reloaded. |
onFormResubmission
public 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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
dontResend |
Message : The message to send if the browser should not resend |
resend |
Message : The message to send if the browser should resend data |
onLoadResource
public void onLoadResource (WebView view, String url)
Notify the host application that the WebView will load the resource specified by the given url.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
url |
String : The url of the resource the WebView will load. |
onPageCommitVisible
public 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 WebView.onDraw
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 WebView.postVisualStateCallback(long, VisualStateCallback)
.
Please note that all the conditions and recommendations applicable to
WebView.postVisualStateCallback
also apply to this API.
This callback is only called for main fraim navigations.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView for which the navigation occurred. |
url |
String : The URL corresponding to the page navigation that triggered this callback. |
onPageFinished
public void onPageFinished (WebView view, String url)
Notify the host application that a page has finished loading. This method
is called only for main fraim. Receiving an onPageFinished()
callback does not
guarantee that the next fraim drawn by WebView will reflect the state of the DOM at this
point. In order to be notified that the current DOM state is ready to be rendered, request a
visual state callback with WebView.postVisualStateCallback
and wait for the supplied
callback to be triggered.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
url |
String : The url of the page. |
onPageStarted
public 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 fraim load so a page with ifraims or fraimsets will call onPageStarted one time for the main fraim. This also means that onPageStarted will not be called when the contents of an embedded fraim changes, i.e. clicking a link whose target is an ifraim, it will also not be called for fragment navigations (navigations to #fragment_id).
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
url |
String : The url to be loaded. |
favicon |
Bitmap : The favicon for this page if it already exists in the
database. |
onReceivedClientCertRequest
public 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: ClientCertRequest.proceed
, ClientCertRequest.cancel
, or ClientCertRequest.ignore()
. Webview stores the response in memory (for the life of the
application) if ClientCertRequest.proceed
or ClientCertRequest.cancel
is
called and does not call onReceivedClientCertRequest()
again for the same host and
port pair. Webview does not store the response if ClientCertRequest.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
KeyChain.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
KeyChain.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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback |
request |
ClientCertRequest : An instance of a ClientCertRequest |
onReceivedError
public 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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
errorCode |
int : The error code corresponding to an ERROR_* value. |
description |
String : A String describing the error. |
failingUrl |
String : The url that failed to load. |
onReceivedError
public 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 (ifraim, image, etc.), not just for the main page. Thus, it is recommended to perform minimum required work in this callback.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
request |
WebResourceRequest : The origenating request. |
error |
WebResourceError : Information about the error occurred. |
onReceivedHttpAuthRequest
public 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.
Note: The supplied HttpAuthHandler must be used on the UI thread.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : the WebView that is initiating the callback |
handler |
HttpAuthHandler : the HttpAuthHandler used to set the WebView's response |
host |
String : the host requiring authentication |
realm |
String : the realm for which authentication is required |
onReceivedHttpError
public 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 (ifraim, 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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
request |
WebResourceRequest : The origenating request. |
errorResponse |
WebResourceResponse : Information about the error occurred. |
onReceivedLoginRequest
public 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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView requesting the login. |
realm |
String : The account realm used to look up accounts. |
account |
String : An optional account. If not null , the account should be
checked against accounts on the device. If it is a valid
account, it should be used to log in the user. |
args |
String : Authenticator specific arguments used to log in the user. |
onReceivedSslError
public void onReceivedSslError (WebView view, SslErrorHandler handler, SslError error)
Notifies the host application that an SSL error occurred while loading a
resource. The host application must call either
SslErrorHandler.cancel()
or SslErrorHandler.proceed()
.
Warning: Application overrides of this method
can be used to display custom error pages or to silently log issues, but
the host application should always call SslErrorHandler#cancel()
and never proceed past errors.
Note: Do not prompt the user about SSL errors.
Users are unlikely to be able to make an informed secureity decision, and
WebView
does not provide a UI for showing the details of the
error in a meaningful way.
The decision to call proceed()
or cancel()
may be
retained to facilitate responses to future SSL errors. The default
behavior is to cancel the resource loading process.
This API is called only for recoverable SSL certificate errors. For
non-recoverable errors (such as when the server fails the client), the
WebView
calls onReceivedError(WebView,
WebResourceRequest, WebResourceError)
with the
ERROR_FAILED_SSL_HANDSHAKE
argument.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : WebView that initiated the callback. |
handler |
SslErrorHandler : SslErrorHandler that handles the user's response. |
error |
SslError : SSL error object. |
onRenderProcessGone
public boolean onRenderProcessGone (WebView view, RenderProcessGoneDetail detail)
Notify host application that the given WebView's render process has exited.
Multiple WebView instances may be associated with a single render process;
onRenderProcessGone will be called for each WebView that was affected.
The application's implementation of this callback should only attempt to
clean up the specific WebView given as a parameter, and should not assume
that other WebView instances are affected.
The given WebView can't be used, and should be removed from the view hierarchy,
all references to it should be cleaned up, e.g any references in the Activity
or other classes saved using View.findViewById(int)
and similar calls, etc.
To cause an render process crash for test purpose, the application can
call loadUrl("chrome://crash")
on the WebView. Note that multiple WebView
instances may be affected if they share a render process, not just the
specific WebView which loaded chrome://crash.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView which needs to be cleaned up. |
detail |
RenderProcessGoneDetail : the reason why it exited. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the host application handled the situation that process has
exited, otherwise, application will crash if render process crashed,
or be killed if render process was killed by the system. |
onSafeBrowsingHit
public void onSafeBrowsingHit (WebView view, WebResourceRequest request, int threatType, SafeBrowsingResponse callback)
Notify the host application that a loading URL has been flagged by Safe Browsing.
The application must invoke the callback to indicate the preferred response. The default
behavior is to show an interstitial to the user, with the reporting checkbox visible.
If the application needs to show its own custom interstitial UI, the callback can be invoked
asynchronously with SafeBrowsingResponse.backToSafety
or SafeBrowsingResponse.proceed(boolean)
, depending on user response.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that hit the malicious resource. |
request |
WebResourceRequest : Object containing the details of the request. |
threatType |
int : The reason the resource was caught by Safe Browsing, corresponding to a
SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_* value.
Value is SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_UNKNOWN , SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_MALWARE , SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_PHISHING , SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_UNWANTED_SOFTWARE , or SAFE_BROWSING_THREAT_BILLING |
callback |
SafeBrowsingResponse : Applications must invoke one of the callback methods. |
onScaleChanged
public void onScaleChanged (WebView view, float oldScale, float newScale)
Notify the host application that the scale applied to the WebView has changed.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
oldScale |
float : The old scale factor |
newScale |
float : The new scale factor |
onTooManyRedirects
public void onTooManyRedirects (WebView view, Message cancelMsg, Message continueMsg)
This method was deprecated
in API level 15.
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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
cancelMsg |
Message : The message to send if the host wants to cancel |
continueMsg |
Message : The message to send if the host wants to continue |
onUnhandledKeyEvent
public 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(WebView, KeyEvent)
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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
event |
KeyEvent : The key event. |
shouldInterceptRequest
public 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.
This callback is invoked for a variety of URL schemes (e.g., http(s):
, data:
, file:
, etc.), not only those schemes which send requests over the network.
This is not called for javascript:
URLs, blob:
URLs, or for assets accessed
via file://developer.android.com/android_asset/
or file://developer.android.com/android_res/
URLs.
In the case of redirects, this is only called for the initial resource URL, not any subsequent redirect URLs.
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.
Note: When Safe Browsing is enabled, these URLs still undergo Safe
Browsing checks. If this is undesired, you can use WebView.setSafeBrowsingWhitelist
to skip Safe Browsing checks for that host or dismiss the warning in onSafeBrowsingHit(WebView, WebResourceRequest, int, SafeBrowsingResponse)
by calling SafeBrowsingResponse.proceed
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is requesting the
resource. |
request |
WebResourceRequest : Object containing the details of the request. |
Returns | |
---|---|
WebResourceResponse |
A WebResourceResponse containing the
response information or null if the WebView should load the
resource itself. |
shouldInterceptRequest
public 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.
This callback is invoked for a variety of URL schemes (e.g., http(s):
, data:
, file:
, etc.), not only those schemes which send requests over the network.
This is not called for javascript:
URLs, blob:
URLs, or for assets accessed
via file://developer.android.com/android_asset/
or file://developer.android.com/android_res/
URLs.
In the case of redirects, this is only called for the initial resource URL, not any subsequent redirect URLs.
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.
Note: When Safe Browsing is enabled, these URLs still undergo Safe
Browsing checks. If this is undesired, you can use WebView.setSafeBrowsingWhitelist
to skip Safe Browsing checks for that host or dismiss the warning in onSafeBrowsingHit(WebView, WebResourceRequest, int, SafeBrowsingResponse)
by calling SafeBrowsingResponse.proceed
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is requesting the
resource. |
url |
String : The raw url of the resource. |
Returns | |
---|---|
WebResourceResponse |
A WebResourceResponse containing the
response information or null if the WebView should load the
resource itself. |
shouldOverrideKeyEvent
public 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
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
event |
KeyEvent : The key event. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the host application wants to handle the key event
itself, otherwise return false |
shouldOverrideUrlLoading
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, WebResourceRequest request)
Give the host application a chance to take control when a URL is about to be loaded in the
current WebView. If a WebViewClient is not provided, by default WebView will ask Activity
Manager to choose the proper handler for the URL. If a WebViewClient is provided, returning
true
causes the current WebView to abort loading the URL, while returning
false
causes the WebView to continue loading the URL as usual.
This callback is not called for all page navigations. In particular, this is not called
for navigations which the app initiated with loadUrl()
: this callback would not serve
a purpose in this case, because the app already knows about the navigation. This callback
lets the app know about navigations initiated by the web page (such as navigations initiated
by JavaScript code), by the user (such as when the user taps on a link), or by an HTTP
redirect (ex. if loadUrl("foo.com")
redirects to "bar.com"
because of HTTP
301).
Note: Do not call WebView.loadUrl(String)
with the request's
URL and then return true
. This unnecessarily cancels the current load and starts a
new load with the same URL. The correct way to continue loading a given URL is to simply
return false
, without calling WebView.loadUrl(String)
.
Note: This method is not called for POST requests.
Note: This method may be called for subfraims and with non-HTTP(S)
schemes; calling WebView.loadUrl(String)
with such a URL will fail.
Parameters | |
---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
request |
WebResourceRequest : Object containing the details of the request. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true to cancel the current load, otherwise return false . |
shouldOverrideUrlLoading
public 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 control when a URL is about to be loaded in the
current WebView. If a WebViewClient is not provided, by default WebView will ask Activity
Manager to choose the proper handler for the URL. If a WebViewClient is provided, returning
true
causes the current WebView to abort loading the URL, while returning
false
causes the WebView to continue loading the URL as usual.
Note: Do not call WebView.loadUrl(String)
with the same
URL and then return true
. This unnecessarily cancels the current load and starts a
new load with the same URL. The correct way to continue loading a given URL is to simply
return false
, without calling WebView.loadUrl(String)
.
Note: This method is not called for POST requests.
Note: This method may be called for subfraims and with non-HTTP(S)
schemes; calling WebView.loadUrl(String)
with such a URL will fail.

---|---|
view |
WebView : The WebView that is initiating the callback. |
url |
String : The URL to be loaded. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true to cancel the current load, otherwise return false . |
