For that just create the subclass that is extending webclient and use the method of that class onPageFinished(WebView c,String url) and
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(final WebView view, final String url)

here is the code-

 myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { //view.loadUrl(url); System.out.println("hello"); return false; } }); myWebView.loadUrl(url);

The docs say you should return false to continue loading that url. returning true will abort loading

In case you use Kotlin:

webView.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() { override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading( view: WebView?, request: WebResourceRequest? ): Boolean { return false } }

so you have to use WebviewClicent .. here is the class

private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(final WebView view, final String url) { Utils.showActivityViewer(WebsiteActivity.this); new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { view.loadUrl(url); } }).start(); return true; } }

and bind in a webview as

webview.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());

and refer http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebViewClient.html
