Android detect webview URL change

I know I’m late to the game but I ran into this issue over and over … I finally found a sloution which is pretty straight forward. Just override WebViewClient.doUpdateVisitedHistory

override fun doUpdateVisitedHistory(view: WebView?, url: String?, isReload: Boolean) {
    // your code here
    super.doUpdateVisitedHistory(view, url, isReload)
}

It works with all url changes even the javascript ones!

If this does not make you happy then I don’t know what will 🙂
