In a WebView is there a way for shouldOverrideUrlLoading to determine if it is catching a redirect vs. a user clicking a link?

Question

I would like to allow redirects to happen naturally in the WebView and only catch a new url if it is a happening because a user clicked something.

Answer 1

In SDK 24. can get the result by the new shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request),

there is a method isRedirect() in WebResourceRequest which gets whether the request was a result of a server-side redirect.
