How to get Url of the WebView using WebResourceRequest in Java?

Question

I have these codes:

   public class MyAppWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
            //want url of the webview in here
        }

I just want to know, how can I obtain the Url of the webView to override the Url loading. The shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) method is depreceated in API21.

Thanks in advance!

boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, String url) deprecated in API 24, boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) added in API level 24

        @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
            if(Uri.parse(request.getUrl().toString()).getHost().endsWith("google.com")) {
                //The host application wants to leave the current WebView and handle the url itself. 
                return true;
            }

            if(Uri.parse(request.getUrl().toString()).getHost().endsWith("yandex.com")) {                    
                //The current WebView handles the url. 
                return false;
            }               

            if(Uri.parse(request.getUrl().toString()).getScheme().equals("file")) {
                //The current WebView handles the url. 
                return false;
            }

            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(request.getUrl().toString()));
            view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
            return true;
        }
