I want to Create a Context Menu for web view in android. My problem is that I cant get the URL from the clicked link. I write this code for log the clicked link:
webView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onLongClick(final View v) {
WebView webView1 = (WebView) v;
WebView.HitTestResult hitTestResult = webView1.getHitTestResult();
Log.i("LinkClicked", hitTestResult.getExtra());
return false;
}
});
With this code, when long click on links in websites like stackoverflow, log like this:
everything is ok, but when long click on google search results, log like this:
data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQCAMAAAAoLQ9TAAAAJFBMVEVHcEz/AAD/AAD/AAD/AAD/AAD/AAD/AAD/g4P/////KCj/7e0I8rGvAAAAB3RSTlMAT0g5Ggp+EilkVQAAAENJREFUGJVjYCAGsDAzggEzC5jLxo4E2BgYWNlRACsDM5jmggkwMzCBaQ5uqBATTICTk4OAAEILhqEY1mI4DNPphAAASIsES4gsgWgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=
it does not return a link. How I can fix this?
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
WebView webView;
String URL1 = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60577403/how-to-get-url-from-long-click-links-in-a-webview/60577736?noredirect=1#comment107173847_60577736";
@Override

@Override

URL1 = url;
return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
}

webView.loadUrl(URL1);
// Register the context menu for web view
registerForContextMenu(webView);
}
@Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
// Get the web view hit test result
final WebView.HitTestResult result = webView.getHitTestResult();
// If user long press on url
if (result.getType() == WebView.HitTestResult.ANCHOR_TYPE ||
result.getType() == WebView.HitTestResult.SRC_ANCHOR_TYPE) {
// Set the title for context menu
menu.setHeaderTitle("\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t ◦ ◉ ⦿ Select ⦿ ◉ ◦ \t");
// Add an item to the menu
menu.add(0, 1, 0, " \t \t➤\t Show URL")
.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new MenuItem.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem menuItem) {
String Pressed_url = result.getExtra();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "URL is:-" + Pressed_url,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return false;
}
});
}
}
}
