There is no AdBlocker in Androids Webview.

You can try to use the overrideurl event to check by yourself.

Sorry,I do not understand,How can i check ? do you have a clue...

See webview documentation. Use the overrideurl event.

There are two ways of making an adblocker:

1. Way (Really dirty, most websites wont work like they did before) is to just disable JavaScript

2. Way will take you a bit of time but it will work very good.
First you get the source of the Webpage.
Then you use EasyList to remove all parts of the html source that contain ads.

See webview documentation. Use the overrideurl event.

i do this...

Sub WebView1_OverrideUrl (Url As String) As Boolean
Log(Url)
End Sub


I can not get all the links that are called when accessing the website, if i can get link ads maybe i can block it ? any suggestion ?

Thanks

OverrideUrl will only be raised for the main url (location url). It will not disable ajax calls.

so how can i get all the links that are called when accessing the website ?

WebView will call them automatically. There is no simple way to filter them.
