shouldOverrideUrlLoading not able to intercept clicks - Android

[MikaReesu]

Hello, I would to be able to intercept clicks, to get the url and to be able to redirect outside of the app with url_launcher. So far, I wasn't able to do that. ShouldOverrideUrlLoading wasn't triggered after the initial launch when I was clicking on something in the website.

Thank you for your help.

• I have read the Getting Started section -> Yes, didn't find anything.
• I have already searched for the same problem -> Yes, but couldn't find something helpful in my situation.

Environment

Technology	Version
Flutter version	3.20.0-11.0.pre.38
Plugin version	6.0.0
Android version	min 23 -> 34

Device information: Any Android

Description

Expected behavior: I'm trying to intercept the URL of a click. To redirect with url launcher when it is something external, like fb, what's app and etc ...

Current behavior: At the moment, using shouldOverrideUrlLoading, it is triggered only at the launch of the webview. When I start navigating in the website, and when I click on a link, the click is intercepted by shouldOverrideUrlLoading.

shouldOverrideUrlLoading: (controller, navigationAction) async { Uri? uri = navigationAction.request.url; if (uri != null && _shouldLaunchUrlExternally(uri.toString())) { _launchURL(uri.toString()); return NavigationActionPolicy.CANCEL; } return NavigationActionPolicy.ALLOW; },

Are you sure you have already searched for the same problem?

Some people open new issues but they didn't search for something similar or for the same issue. Please, search for it using the GitHub issue search box or on the official inappwebview.dev website, or, also, using Google, StackOverflow, etc. before posting a new one. You may already find an answer to your problem!

If this is really a new issue, then thank you for raising it. I will investigate it and get back to you as soon as possible. Please, make sure you have given me as much context as possible! Also, if you didn't already, post a code example that can replicate this issue.

In the meantime, you can already search for some possible solutions online! Because this plugin uses native WebView, you can search online for the same issue adding android WebView [MY ERROR HERE] or ios WKWebView [MY ERROR HERE] keywords.

Following these steps can save you, me, and other people a lot of time, thanks!
