One of the easiest solutions to block a website on Android is to use an app firewall. Configuring a firewall app, such as NoRoot Firewall, could help you to block certain websites on your device. This works by blocking your device from loading those pages.
Mobile Security: Tap Parental Controls, enter your password, and turn on Website Filter. Tap Blocked List > Add and enter the URL. BlockSite: Tap plus (+), enter the website URL. Tap alarm clock to schedule a blocked time.
Do you want to block some websites on a user's device by letting them install an app?
If that is the case, it will only work if they are rooted. If they are, then you could add an entry of the url to the hosts file and redirect it to another ip address (eg 127.0.0.1). But since they need to be rooted, they will probably get a popup asking for permission to access root. This could raise some suspicion with the user.
On a device that's not rooted, preventing the standard browser from accessing a certain website is not possible by installing an app.
