So i want to be able to monitor the URL my WebView application is loading. The main thing im trying to accomplish is to keep the WebView inside a specific Website or at least by able to detect when the user is leaving the website's URL.
Example. If i have the base URL of www.google.com and when the user clicks Images, he gets "http://www.google.com/imghp" However it still has the base URL of www.google.com, so if there is a way to monitor when the base URL is no longer www.google.com, such as when a user clicks a search result and is then brought to a different website completely.
The purpose of doing this is that i want to display to the user a dialog or Toast to let them know they are leaving the website that this WebView app is created for.
Any Code, Idea's or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Example Code
@Override
public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url)
{
if (url.equals("http://www.google.com"))
{
//do your own thing here
view.loadUrl(url);
}
else
{
AlertDialog.Builder localBuilder2 = new AlertDialog.Builder(Webview_Main.this);
localBuilder2.setTitle("Hey Wait!");
localBuilder2.setMessage("You currently are about to leave the website\n\nIf you want to stay inside this website, Please click the Go Back button below");
localBuilder2.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
localBuilder2.setPositiveButton("Go Back",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(
DialogInterface paramDialogInterface,
int paramInt) {
web.goBack();
}
});
localBuilder2.setNegativeButton("Continue",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(
DialogInterface paramDialogInterface,
int paramInt) {
}
});
localBuilder2.show();
};
super.onLoadResource(view, url);
}
However this above code doesnt work, only keeps poping up the alert dialog since the URL maybe different.
