If you have control over the showing website you could add a javascript interface to your webview and then you can call app methods from html code using the interface

Ok, but he's got to get his website right before I can do anything with those javascript hooks.

As i wrote earlier... if YOU have control over the website... That means that you need to change the websitecode (html)to add the javascript code....

OR you inject a custom javascript to the site. Search the forum; @warwound has posted some examples about javascript injection
