Android Webview disable all links but enable scroll

Question

I am using Webview in android where i load a webpage but, I want all the links to be disabled and web view should be scrollable.

I am using the following code right now:

tnc.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
                     public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                        return true;
                     }
                 });

This makes web view disabled but scrolling also goes away.

I have also tried :

tnc.setClickable(false);

but this also doe not work. Please help me out.

If you want to override the clicking of links in the WebView, you can use the shouldOverrideUrlLoading method of the WebViewClient.

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        return true;
    }
});
