I also note that if you want to keep the browser from opening the default Android browser, you'll have to change the behavior of the links: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2378800/android-webview-click-opens-default-browser This might be a bit much to ask, but, out of interest, am I correct in saying it is impossible to have similar actions performed by the plain old Android browser? I could imagine an application which the user might start, which starts a service, which if the browser loaded a page would allow interacting from javascript to an object in aforementioned service. I understand that this is a bit contrived, because your process might be eventually killed, so I presume that the standard thing to do in this situation is to add a receiver to capture links of some form and hand them to your app instead. However, I can imagine uses for such functionality that don't fit into this model: during some research in the last year I wanted to have multiple pages throughout the net interact with an Android app that users would run in the background, that does things like record information about browsing interests. Obviously this situation should be outlawed in real apps because the idea that a rouge application could intercept HTML from any site the user was browsing would be a *major* security hole, however this wasn't something we were worried about (as, again, the app was used just for research.) My question isn't for that particular situation, as we can just root the phone and hack what we needed, but in general.
