Answer 1

You can add a WebViewClient to your WebView. Now you have to extend WebViewClient and override the shouldOverrideURLloading method. This method will be called every time a URL is loaded.

You now get the URL that is about to load as a String. If you want to prevent the WebView from load the URL or jump to another part of your app return true if you want the webview to load the URL return false.

This will only work if you are using a WebView in you application. As far as I know there is no way to hook into the web browser in that way.
