Answer 1

for that, your can override some method in your WebViewClient class

@Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
        }

Use any of this method as per your requirement, the String url gives you the url

Answer 2

The method shouldOverrideUrlLoading() will be called only when a new URL is about to load in the current webview. Hence to receive an updated URL upon click inside a single webpage application you need to extend WebChromeClient class and set its instance to your webview. Whenever URL will update onProgressChanged will be called and there you will get updated URL through webview.

webView?.webChromeClient = QuartzWebChromeClient() 

Inside onProgressChanged() of QuartzWebChromeClient updated URL can be received through webview.

 private inner class QuartzWebChromeClient : WebChromeClient() {
    override fun onProgressChanged(view: WebView, newProgress: Int) {
        super.onProgressChanged(view, newProgress)
        Log.d("tag",view.url)
    }
}
