On Navigate Listener
interface OnNavigateListener
The listener interface for receiving "onNavigate" events, typically generated by components that handle web content rendering, such as an embedded WebView (e.g., within a WEB module).
A class interested in processing and potentially intercepting these navigation events implements this interface. The listener object is then registered with the relevant component (e.g., using an addOnNavigateListener
method on a web view component).
This listener is primarily responsible for allowing external code to inspect and control URL navigation requests *before* the actual loading of the web resource occurs. Common use cases include:
- URL filtering or whitelisting/blacklisting.
- Redirecting certain URLs to different destinations.
- Logging navigation attempts for analytics or security.
- Injecting headers or modifying the request before it's sent (if supported by the underlying component).
- Displaying custom messages or dialogs before allowing/denying navigation.
