Answer 1

To accomplish what you want to do I would extend the CordovaWebViewClient class and override the methods you want but don't forget to call the super methods or PhoneGap won't work without the CordovaWebViewClient as it is an important class.

Answer 2

I think I've figured this out on latest Cordova versions (I'm using 2.2). It fails at onPageStarted() because it's expecting an appView, which is null. Setting the appView seems to fix it eg

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.init();

    CordovaWebViewClient webViewClient = new CustomAcceptingWebViewClient(this);
    webViewClient.setWebView(this.appView);
    this.appView.setWebViewClient(webViewClient);

    super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

}

Note that the super.init() is also needed

Answer 3

You forgot to call super ;)

    // Assign webclient.
    this.appView.setWebViewClient(new CordovaWebViewClient(me, this.appView) {
        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
        }

        @Override
        public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
            super.onReceivedError(view, errorCode, description, failingUrl);
        }
    });
