I want to block ad from a website I am loading in an android studio webview. Say I am browsing a website in google chrome the website then showing the ad containing on the website. When I am loading that website inside my webview normally the ad is shown. I want to block that ad via the modification of java code. I have tried a method of GitHub. It's not working. Can I get the easiest and well-documented solution for it?

I try

build.gradle 

implementation 'org.adblockplus:adblock-android:3.0'

XML 

<org.adblockplus.libadblockplus.android.webview.AdblockWebView 
android:id="@+id/main_webview" 
android:layout_width="match_parent" 
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Java 

WebView webView; 

 @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled") 
 @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
 setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); 

 webView = findViewById(R.id.main_webview); 
 WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings(); 
 webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 
 webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()); 

 webView.loadUrl("url"); }

or I have another idea of injecting additional CSS to solve this,

Idea 2: If I can inject an addition CSS file "style2.css" from assets/style2.css of an android studio. This may work. I can find out the div class inside that the ad is shown. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="row">
      <div class="google-ad">
          ***Google Ad Banner***
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="header">
      ***Webpage Content Here****
    </div>
</body>
</html>

say class "row" contains an ad. I will then call .row class and make it *display: none*. But how can I inject an additional CSS file to a webpage what is loaded to my webview?

Let me clear my idea2 again with another example, Say I am browsing "www.google.com" website. This google webpage has a white background. But I want to make the white background to black when I will load it to my android studio webview. By calling or injecting another CSS file from assets/cssbg.css.

cssbg.css code will be

body{
background: #000000 !important;
}

I have already reviewed this, Android block ads in webview

but the problem is it is difficult to understand say this portion, public class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

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

    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        if (url.endsWith(".mp4")) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(url), "video/*");
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
            return true;
        } else if (url.startsWith("tel:") || url.startsWith("sms:") || url.startsWith("smsto:")
                || url.startsWith("mms:") || url.startsWith("mmsto:")) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
            return true;
        } else {
            return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
        }
    }

why .mp4? I just want to know the whole process in a simpler way, will you please cooperate?
