how to inspect redirection to a non http href using selenium

[Elad Ben David]

I use selenium web-drive to test a web page that is usually shown in my android app (Android web-view).

I want to click on a button and check where will be the redirection.

The problem is that 

1) sometimes the href is static and sometimes the click just triggers an `onClick()` js method that does redirection to another page.

2) Another issue is that the redirection is sometimes an android intent.

in the format: `waze:\\`

![enter image description here][1]

I tried to click on the button and check the newUrl, but my browser isn't directing to any other page (in my case it was a static `waze://`)

What do you suggest?

I remember reading somewhere that the protocol such as “waze:\\” is normally intended to have a web view application open up a native application on the phone [ In this case, I am guessing that the link on your page causes the waze application to be opened up and some co-ordinates to be opened up ]

So I think you would need to be testing this using Selendroid on either an actual device or a simulator which also has the Waze application installed on it.

Thanks & Regards
