android - How to handle a binary data response in WebView -

my activity has intent filter pick specific url , open in webview control, brings user auth page (user name/password). after authentication done user binary stream response (file). there way handle response , read data stream?

i tried setup custom webviewclient overridden shouldoverrideurlloading method, app doesn't there.

@override  mmywebview.setwebviewclient(new customwebclient()); mmywebview.loadurl("http://xxx.xx.x.xx:xxxx/getcert");  ... private class customwebclient extends webviewclient {     @override     public boolean shouldoverrideurlloading  (webview  view, string  urlconection)     {        // break point here doesn't stop debugger        return true;     } } 

neither works

mmywebview.setwebviewclient(new webviewclient(){      @override     public boolean shouldoverrideurlloading  (webview  view, string  urlconection)     .... }); 

server reacts on requests in same way both app , build-in browser. build-in browser starts download file received in response, app doesn't , doesn't hit breakpoint inside customwebclient. separate app test piece nothing else interferes it. internet & write_external_storage permissions added.

edit: mar 8 gave up. go httpclient.

did implement method of webview?

void setdownloadlistener(downloadlistener listener) register interface used when content can not handled rendering engine, , should downloaded instead.
