Javascript overlay redirect not displaying properly on Android WebView

I am trying to implement a custom browser based on WebView. It works great on most websites, but on https://smittenkitchen.com/ I maybe missing something critical:

It loads and displays the homepage fine, but when typing a search term (e.g. "carrot"), it first lands on an ugly looking "search form" page, then it displays an blank overlay! (no trace of that overlay display/redirect in Logcat!)

On any standard web browser it first lands on that ugly looking "search form" page, then after 0.5-2 seconds it displays an overlay with the search results gradually being populated.

I am trying to understand what I am missing in my implementation:

In MyWebViewClient, I override:

  • onPageStarted
  • onPageFinished
  • shouldOverrideUrlLoading
  • onPageCommitVisible

However, the first 3 methods (onPageStarted, onPageFinished, shouldOverrideUrlLoading) only log a Logcat message when called, they do not do anything custom.

The only overridden method that does something custom (onPageCommitVisible) is only calling WebView's loadUrl() with:

javascript:window.HTMLOUT.processHTML(document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML)

facilitated by:

webView.addJavascriptInterface(new MyJavascriptInterface(this, webView), "HTMLOUT");

Note that shouldOverrideUrlLoading is never called by the Android WebView framework, despite the apparent redirect (perhaps because it is a client-side redirect, not changing the URL?)

@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
    Log.d("", "url: " + url + ", view: " + view.getUrl());
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
    Log.d("", "url: " + url + ", view: " + view.getUrl());
}
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest webResourceRequest) {
    Log.d("", "webResourceRequest: " + webResourceRequest.getUrl() + ", view: " + view.getUrl());
    return false;
}
@Override
public void onPageCommitVisible(WebView view, String url) {
    super.onPageCommitVisible(view, url);
    view.loadUrl("javascript:window.HTMLOUT.processHTML(document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML)"); // convert all javascript to HTML
    Log.v("", "url (passed): " + url + " < view.getUrl(): " + view.getUrl());
}

The relevant Logcat snippet is as follows:

11:12:03.716                           D   url: https://smittenkitchen.com/, view: https://smittenkitchen.com/ (called from: MyWebViewClient.onPageFinished)

Any idea what I could be missing in my implementation so that my WebView-based browser displays overlays like Chrome does?

The number of nodes and edges I calculated manually and by a method provided by networkx library dont match

I am trying to analyse a graph using networkx library in Python. I have implemented a function that returns the nodes and edges of that graph. After that I counted the number of nodes and edges by implementing the len() function for nodes and edges, which gave me 17 for both nodes and edges. However, when I used the method graph.number_of_nodes() of networkx library it gave me 53. My code: import pandas as pd import networkx as nx import matplotlib.pyplot as plt header_list = ["a","b","w"] E =pd.read_csv("aves-barn-swallow-contact-network.edges",sep=" ",header= None,names=header_list) # print(E.head()) # prints first few rows of the csv file G = nx.from_pandas_edgelist(E,"a","b",["w"]) nx.draw(G) plt.show() class GraphAnalyse: #finding nodes and edges def nodeEdge(self,Graph): nodes = Graph.nodes() edges = Graph.edges() ...
