    private String strListsURL = URLOperation.strListsURL;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        this.context = this;

        webViewDefault = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.mainWeb);
        webViewDefault.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
        webViewDefault.setWebViewClient(new MyClient());
        webViewDefault.loadUrl(strListsURL);


    private class MyClient extends WebViewClient {

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

        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView mWebView, String url) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
        }

        @Override
        public void onReceivedError(WebView mWebView, int errorCode, String description, String fallingUrl) {
            mWebView.loadData("<html>Load Error</html>", "text/html", "utf-8");
        }
    }

In android webview, it enters the text selecting mode by long press the text. you can override the onPerformLongClick() to take over the control and return true to prevent from entering the webtextview mode.
