WebViewAdblock

Android webview Adblocker is a simple library to block ads in webview. this code is basicaly stop the ads and remove the html from it and render it again.

How do I use it?

Step 1

#1 Add it in your MainActivity.java

    AdBlocker.init(this);

    webview=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
    webview.setWebViewClient(new MyBrowser());

    WebSettings webSettings = webview.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

    webview.loadUrl("https://www.meersworld.net/");

Step 2

Add these codes in MainActivity.java

private class MyBrowser extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }

    private Map<String, Boolean> loadedUrls = new HashMap<>();
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public WebResourceResponse shouldInterceptRequest(WebView view, String url) {
        boolean ad;
        if (!loadedUrls.containsKey(url)) {
            ad = AdBlocker.isAd(url);
            loadedUrls.put(url, ad);
        } else {
            ad = loadedUrls.get(url);
        }
        return ad ? AdBlocker.createEmptyResource() :
                super.shouldInterceptRequest(view, url);
    }
}

Step 3

Make a AdBlocker.java class and paste the below codes

public class AdBlocker {

private static final String AD_HOSTS_FILE = "host.txt";
private static final Set<String> AD_HOSTS = new HashSet<>();

public static void init(final Context context) {
    new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
            try {
                loadFromAssets(context);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // noop
            }
            return null;
        }
    }.execute();
}

@WorkerThread
private static void loadFromAssets(Context context) throws IOException {
    InputStream stream = context.getAssets().open(AD_HOSTS_FILE);
    InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(stream);
    BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
    String line;
    while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) AD_HOSTS.add(line);
    bufferedReader.close();
    inputStreamReader.close();
    stream.close();
}

public static boolean isAd(String url) {
    try {
        return isAdHost(getHost(url))||AD_HOSTS.contains(Uri.parse(url).getLastPathSegment());
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        Log.d("Ind", e.toString());
        return false;
    }

}

private static boolean isAdHost(String host) {
    if (TextUtils.isEmpty(host)) {
        return false;
    }
    int index = host.indexOf(".");
    return index >= 0 && (AD_HOSTS.contains(host) ||
            index + 1 < host.length() && isAdHost(host.substring(index + 1)));
}

public static String getHost(String url) throws MalformedURLException {
    return new URL(url).getHost();
}

public static WebResourceResponse createEmptyResource() {
    return new WebResourceResponse("text/plain", "utf-8", new ByteArrayInputStream("".getBytes()));
}
}

Step 4

Create a assests directory in main and add host.txt file into that assests directory.

Now you can run your app to see if the ads are blocked. You can always use other webview features and add fetures to the webview.
