Protected methods

clone

Added in API level 1
protected abstract fun clone(): WebBackForwardList

Clone the entire object to be used in the UI thread by clients of WebView. This creates a copy that should never be modified by any of the webkit package classes. On Android 4.4 and later there is no need to use this, as the object is already a read-only copy of the internal state.

Return
WebBackForwardList a clone of this instance.
Exceptions
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException if the object's class does not support the Cloneable interface. Subclasses that override the clone method can also throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot be cloned.
