How to control the Android WebView history/back stack?

Question

I am trying to figure out a way to handle the WebView back stack similar to how the Android web browser handles it when the back button is pressed from within my own app\'s WebV

Answer 1

boolean isGoBack = false;    //back key is pressed

private long goBackTime = 0; //

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {
        isGoBack = true;
        goBackTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        mWebView.goBack();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

Webview mWebView.

setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() { //setWebViewClient
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, String url){
        if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(startUrl) && !startUrl.equals(url) && isGoBack && System.currentTimeMillis() - goBackTime < 600) {
            isGoBack = false;
            if (mWebView.canGoBack()) {
                mWebView.goBack();
            } else {
                finish(); //activity finish
            }
        } else {
            view.loadUrl(url);
            isGoBack = false;
            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
    @Override
    public void onPageStarted (WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon){
        super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);

        startUrl = url;
    }
}
