mWebView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
       return true;
    }  
});

Answer 2

Create a custom WebViewClient and override shouldOverrideUrlLoading & shouldOverrideKeyEvent. For example:

public class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideKeyEvent (WebView view, KeyEvent event) {
         // Do something with the event here
         return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, String url) {
        if (Uri.parse(url).getHost().equals("www.google.com")) {
             // This is my web site, so do not override; let my WebView load the page
             return false;
        }

        // reject anything other
        return true;
    }
}

No idea to disable HTML Native button in webview but you can disable link

public class formatHTML {
    public static String changeHTMLFormat(String htmlObject){
        String result = "", CSSCoding = "";

        CSSCoding = htmlObject;
        CSSCoding = CSSCoding.replaceAll("<[aA].*?>", "<u>");
        CSSCoding = CSSCoding.replaceAll("</[aA]>", "</u>");
        return CSSCoding;
    }     
}
