Prevent android webview from loading certain url

If all that you need is the text from the page, you can scrape the html and parse it out from there:

 HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext(); String url = "http://www.google.com"; BufferedReader reader; HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url); String result = ""; try { HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet, localContext); reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent())); String line = null; result = ""; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null){ result += line + "\n"; } } catch(Exception e){} // result now contains the html text 

Or you could even do this and recreate the page, minus the .jpg and .css references.

If you can live with requiring API 11, you could implement shouldInterceptRequest to return some sort of empty WebResourceResponse for the URLs with those extensions.

myWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient()); protected class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { String ext = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(url); if (ext.eq.....
