Difference between shouldoverrideurlloading and shouldinterceptrequest?

Question

Anyone please tell me the difference between methods public WebResourceResponse shouldInterceptRequest (WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) and public b

Answer 1

I believe that shouldOverrideUrlLoading is invoked when a new page is being loaded into the webview, so for example, when you do your initial:

webview.loadUrl( "file:///android_asset/web/index.html" );      

YOur shouldOverrideUrlLoading will get invoked, and it will get invoked again if user clicks on a link to browse to a new page.

shouldInterceptRequest should get called for all requests made within the current page, eg. when I HTML import fonts I see shouldInterceptRequest getting called, or when the webView tries to load images on my page it gets called (but I'm not seeing it called for ajax requests, so I'm still a bit confused).
