Connect Java and JavaScript. Call a java method on Javascript codes that are running in webview

Java to JavaScript.txt
There is a hack:
Bind some Java object so that it can be called from Javascript with WebView:
addJavascriptInterface(javaObjectCallback, "JavaCallback")
Force execute javascript within an existing page by
WebView.loadUrl("javascript: var result = window.YourJSLibrary.callSomeFunction();
window.JavaCallback.returnResult(result)");
(in this case your java class JavaObjectCallback should have a method returnResult(..))
Note: this is a security risk - any JS code in this web page could access/call your binded Java object. Best to pass some one-time cookies to loadUrl() and pass them back your Java object to check that it's your code making the call.
