Yes, it is possible to deactivate certain links on a webpage in Android Studio's WebView. One approach is to intercept the WebView's URL loading process and selectively block the links that you want to deactivate. This can be achieved by subclassing the WebViewClient
class and overriding the shouldOverrideUrlLoading()
method. In this method, you can check the URL being loaded and return true
to block the loading if it matches one of the deactivated links.
Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to block loading of links to Telegram, Instagram, and Email:
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if (url.startsWith("mailto:") || url.contains("tel:") || url.contains("instagram.com") ||
url.contains("telegram.org") || url.contains("t.me")) {
// Block loading of email, telephone, Instagram, and Telegram links
return true;
} else {
// Allow loading of all other links
return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
}
}
});
Note that this approach will only block clicks on links in the WebView. Users can still access these links by typing the URL directly in the address bar.
