Get current URL in webview

Question

I am using Flutter WebView Plugin to create webview in Flutter app. I have added a reload icon inside the appBar. In order to make the reload icon functional, I want to get the current URL from webview.

WebView:

return new MaterialApp(
      theme
        : new ThemeData(
        primaryColor: Color.fromRGBO(58, 66, 86, 1.0), fontFamily: 'Raleway'),
      routes: {
        "/": (_) => new WebviewScaffold(
          url: url,
          appBar: new AppBar(
            title: Text(title),
            actions: <Widget>[
              IconButton(
                icon: Icon(Icons.refresh, color: Color.fromRGBO(255, 255, 255, 1.0),),
                onPressed: () => flutterWebviewPlugin.reloadUrl(url), // this is reloading the url that was provided to webview, not the current URL.
              )
            ],
          ),
          withJavascript: true,
          withLocalStorage: true,
          appCacheEnabled: true,
          hidden: true,
          initialChild: Container(
            child: const Center(
              child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
            ),
          ),
        )
      },
    );

Is there any function to get the current URL from webview or any other method? Please help.

Solution

Is it enough for your reload button to use Future<Null> reload();? This seems to reload the current url. So you don't have to set the url explicit.

You have to change the call of the function to

onPressed: () => flutterWebviewPlugin.reload(), // this is reloading the url that was provided to webview, not the current URL. )
