How to intercept POST data in an android webview

Question

I have an android app that consists of a webview. It needs to allow users to fill in a form on a webpage and then change the data of the form after the user has clicked

Answer 1

I liked the suggestion for public void postUrl(String url, byte[] postData) , but unfortunately it did not work for me.

My solution for just intercepting the POST request:

• have a WebViewClient subclass that is set for WebView
• override public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) to examine the request data and act accordingly (as per requirements)
