Answer 1

You have to intercept the URL links that your WebView might have in order to do your custom implementation.

You have to create a WebViewClient for your WebView and then override the public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) method to achieve such a thing.

Sample code:

//web view client implementation
private class CustomWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) 
    {
        //do whatever you want with the url that is clicked inside the webview.
        //for example tell the webview to load that url.
        view.loadUrl(url);
        //return true if this method handled the link event
        //or false otherwise
        return true;
    }
}}

//in initialization of the webview:
....
webview.setWebViewClient(new CustomWebViewClient());
....

Tell me if that helps.
