You can pass the parameter into java script handler method to solve ur second option.

    <button type="button" onclick="jshandler.onClick('HEllo');">OK</button>

And retrieve from the method.

    @JavascriptInterface
    public void onClick(String id) {
        Log.i("JsHandler onClick", id);
    }

u can find the complete tutorial here

Take a look at WebViewClient's methods. Some of them might be appropriate for you. For example if the submit button loads another page and you know it's url, you can listen for it's loading in onPageStarted or onPageFinished. I am not sure whether these methods will work for you but at least you can search for WebViewClient solutions of a similar problem.
