Answer 1

This can be done

you have to set a WebViewClient to your WebView. this is how to do that.

WebView webView;//make sure to initialize  
webView.setWebViewClient(webViewClient);

WebViewClient webViewClient= new WebViewClient(){
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView  view, String  url){
        return true;
    }
    @Override
    public void onLoadResource(WebView  view, String  url){
        if( url.equals("http://yoururl.com") ){
            // do something
        }
    }
}
