I have been faced a problem in React Native (environment android) to identify when a WebView downloads a file.
The current version of WebView is "react-native-webview": "^11.15.0"
The WebView component charges an url, this url redirects to some web sites and finally downloads a pdf file.
<WebView
onNavigationStateChange={handleWebViewNavigationStateChange}
source={{uri: my_url_link}}
style={styles.webviewStyles}
/>
And I have a function that triggers when the url link changes, so my question is how can i handle the download event
const handleWebViewNavigationStateChange = (newNavState: any) => {
// url from the webview state
const {url} = newNavState;
// Handler PDFView
if (url.includes('.pdf')) {
console.log('Its a PDF');
}
};
I have been tried with onFileDownload WebView method but only works for IOS platforms. So i want to tried with some native solution, any idea of how can I could handle the download event?
