You can do something like this:

Button yourButton = new Button(context);
yourButton.setOnClickListener(this);

webView.addJavascriptInterface(yourButton,"injectedObject");

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    //displayKeyboard() 
}

The HTML button will be as:

<input type="submit" name="submit" id="some_id" onclick="yourButton.performClick();" />

You can also read about it addJavascriptInterface

As you don't have any control on the webpage, you might want to read this:

HitTestResult

and

webview detuct html tag how android

And notice that you probably need to dearch for this:

     int type = result.getType();

     if (type == WebView.HitTestResult.EDIT_TEXT_TYPE) {
         return;
     }
