Activity.java File

final MyJavaScriptInterface myJavaScriptInterface = new MyJavaScriptInterface(
                    this);
            webView.addJavascriptInterface(myJavaScriptInterface, "activity");

public class MyJavaScriptInterface {
        Context mContext;

    MyJavaScriptInterface(Context c) {
        mContext = c;
    }

    //Add @JavascriptInterface to call this method from > 4.2 Android Version
    @JavascriptInterface
    public void TestMethod() {

        Toast.makeText(mContext, "Hello from JavaScript Interface", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
    }
}

HTML File

 <button onClick="jsMethod();">Call Java Activity Method</button>

<script type="text/javascript">
   function jsMethod(){
       activity.TestMethod();
    }
</script>

You have to set up a JavaScriptInterface for the WebView first. See here for an example.
