Description

I am having problem in getting the ‘onNavigationStateChange’ getting called in Andriod. It’s working pretty well in iOS. The scenario is that when we select the country in the WebView their is change In url based on which onNavigationStateChange gets called in iOS but not working in Andriod.

Reproducible Demo

Here is the code I am using :

<WebView ref=“webview” source={{ uri: this.state.url }} // onNavigationStateChange={this.handleNavigationStateChange} // // onShouldStartLoadWithRequest={this.onShouldStartLoadWithRequest} //for iOS // // onNavigationStateChange ={this.onShouldStartLoadWithRequest} //for Android // javaScriptEnabled = {true} bounces={false} domStorageEnabled = {true} // injectedJavaScript = {injectedJs} // javaScriptEnabledAndroid={true} // bounces={false} // startInLoadingState={false}

              javaScriptEnabledAndroid={true}
              javaScriptEnabled={true}
              injectedJavaScript={injectedJs}
              onNavigationStateChange={this.handleNavigationStateChange}

            
            // startInLoadingState
            // scalesPageToFit
            // mixedContentMode= {'always'}
            />

I have tried all the commented code as well but nothing appears to work.

(someone with permissions should fix the tag - this is an android issue)

As pointed out by @sterlingwes, WebView now lives in its own repo: please open an issue in that repo 😊
