The Android Developers reference says that both the WebView.PictureListener interface and its onNewPicture() method are deprecated.
Fine, but the need to know when WebView renders a picture is still there. Is there an alternative way to accomplishing this?
Ok after careful review of the APIs, it seems this cannot be done without using PictureListener. Obviously the person who deprecated this feature didn’t provide an alternative.
I suggest you write a bug report http://code.google.com/p/android/issues and ask people here to star it.
