Answer 1

You should save in a class variable your current url and check if it's the same with the loaded one. When the user clicks on a link the shouldOverrideUrlLoading is called and check the website. Something like this:

private String currentUrl;

public ourWebViewClient(String currentUrl) {
    this.currentUrl = currentUrl;
}

@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    if (url.equals(currentUrl)) {
        view.loadUrl(url);  
    }
    return true;
}

Important: don't forget set the WebViewClient to your WebView.

ourWebViewClient webViewClient = new ourWebViewClient(urlToLoad);
wv.setWebViewClient(webViewClient);
