Question

Is there a way to detect long presses on links and images inside a WebView?

Answer 1

I looked inside the Browser.apk source code and found what I was really looking for:

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // ...
        registerForContextMenu(descriptionWebView);
        // ...
    }

    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View view, ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
      WebView.HitTestResult hitTestResult = descriptionWebView.getHitTestResult();
      switch (hitTestResult.getType()) {
        // ...
      }
    }
