How to programmatically select all WebView content?

Is there a way to programmatically select all WebView content?

I know how to put the WebView into "text selection mode". But that relies on the user to do the selection, manually.

If there is a way to programmatically select all WebView content, how do I do that?

In Javascript you can iterate across all the "elements" and call .select() on each one of them. Nothing specific to Android though.
