Do not track option for webview

Question

Is there a way to set the WebView to have:

Do not track

option like Chrome app?

Answer 1

"Do not track" is actually an HTTP header (DNT). So you should be able to do this by adding that header to every request by way of loadUrl(url, headers). For example:

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
{
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
    {
        HashMap<String, String> extraHeaders = new HashMap<String, String>();
        extraHeaders.put("DNT", "1");
        view.loadUrl(url, extraHeaders); 
        return true;
    } 
});

Note that this loadUrl() overload requires API level 8.
