I’m trying to intercept navigation within a WebView. The problem occurs when a link is clicked — the website runs JavaScript that causes the screen to go blank, even though I’m intercepting the navigation using shouldOverrideUrlLoading, shouldInterceptRequest, and other methods.
I’m certain it’s an issue with the specific website, as other sites do not exhibit this behavior. What confuses me is that iOS handles it correctly — using webNavigationAction, it seems to block the navigation before the JavaScript executes, preventing the blank screen.
Is there any way to achieve similar behavior on Android? How can I prevent the JavaScript from running or the page from unloading, even when the navigation is intercepted?
** Reloading the original URL is not a viable workaround, as it causes the session to reset and important state (like login or form progress) is lost.
