android WebView shouldOverrideUrlLoading（）

Question

Hi this doesnt work for me:

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    s="url clicked: "+url;
    view.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, s, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
    return true;
}
});

I have links in my html, it shows during loading in main activity,

but when I click them I get a white blank screen

I want to be able to read what those urls are, in the program, and I assume this url override function is the purpose for this.

I have tried with loadData() as well.

Thank you

Answer 1

You're not passing the new url to the WebView. Should be

 view.loadDataWithBaseURL(url, null, "text/html", "utf-8", null);

Edit : This also gives me a blank screen because loadDataWithBaseUrl expects you to provide some text or html as the data parameter yourself. Just use

view.loadUrl(url); 

Answer 2

I didn't write http:// in my links, and wrote only x. This was the problem, it works now.
