Suppose we are using browser other than Chrome then is it allowing??

If you link to your application as "myapp://foo/bar", can't you use some sort of intent filter to start your application.

I mean, if you press a youtube link in the browser it asks if you want to complete the action with the YouTube app or the browser.

I have seen similar examples regarding Google Maps links (which would open in either browser, google maps(?) or GeoBeagle).

Please take a look at the WebViewDemo. Javascript code in the web page can call into your Activity. As well as the other way around.

You cannot... if the site is being browsed in the default browser (Chrome).

If you already have an application that embeds the WebView, then you can do some bit of handling of - mouse clicks, window alerts, navigation etc. Otherwise, not!
