Shouldn't the shouldHandleRequest-method compare the private requestPath to the path of the incoming request-parameter (something like "return requestPath == request.url.path") rather than to itself?

Nice idea! Are there some usages of the web server with shouldOverrideUrlLoading?

Great!
I have translated it into java, in case anyone needs it: https://gist.github.com/rahulk11/dd9fa58bac561c69bff704a24db28747

Hey all! Note that this is no longer needed now that Google provides the WebViewAssetLoader (see https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/webkit/WebViewAssetLoader).
