What do you mean by disrupt exactly? I've seen one potential solution where you basically make the javascript call with loadUrl and then wait for a addJavascriptInterface method to be called from the result. This waiting can happen on a non-ui thread. The biggest problem is how long do you wait for the result to come back in case it's never coming.
