Any way to communicate with WebView in Android?

Question

Is it possible to interact with a webview in android trough my native android code?

I develop can bus driver for android and I like to send my can bus data to a html 5 app in a webview without sending them over internet to a webservice. or is it possible to call funktions via the html 5 app in my native android app?

Do you know a good solution for that scenario?
