I want to get a return value from Javascript in Android. I can do it with the iPhone, but I can't with Android. I used loadUrl, but it returned void instead of an object. Can anybody help me?

As an alternative variant that uses a custom scheme to communicate Android native code <-> HTML/JS code. for example MRAID uses this technic[About]

MainActivity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
            WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
        }

        final WebView webview = new CustomWebView(this);
        setContentView(webview);
        webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/customPage.html");

        webview.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

                //Android -> JS
                webview.loadUrl("javascript:showToast()");
            }
        }, 1000);
    }
}

CustomWebView

public class CustomWebView extends WebView {
    public CustomWebView(Context context) {
        super(context);

        setup();
    }

    @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
    private void setup() {
        setWebViewClient(new AdWebViewClient());

        getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    }

    private class AdWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {

            if (url.startsWith("customschema://")) {
                //parse uri
                Toast.makeText(CustomWebView.this.getContext(), "event was received", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }

    }
}

customPage.html (located in the assets folded)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>JavaScript View</title>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        <!--JS -> Android-->
        function showToast() {
            window.location = "customschema://goto/";
        }
    </script>
</head>

<body>

You can do it like this:

[Activity(Label = "@string/app_name", Theme = "@style/AppTheme", MainLauncher = true)]
public class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity
{
    public WebView web_view;
    public static TextView textView;

    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);

        Window.AddFlags(WindowManagerFlags.Fullscreen);
        Window.ClearFlags(WindowManagerFlags.ForceNotFullscreen);

        // Set our view from the "main" layout resource
        SetContentView (Resource.Layout.main);

        web_view = FindViewById<WebView>(Resource.Id.webView);
        textView = FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.textView);

        web_view.Settings.JavaScriptEnabled = true;
        web_view.SetWebViewClient(new SMOSWebViewClient());
        web_view.LoadUrl("https://stns.egyptair.com");
    }

    public override void OnRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, string[] permissions, [GeneratedEnum] Android.Content.PM.Permission[] grantResults)
    {
        Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

        base.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    }
}

public class SMOSWebViewClient : WebViewClient
{
    public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, IWebResourceRequest request)
    {
        view.LoadUrl(request.Url.ToString());
        return false;
    }

    public override void OnPageFinished(WebView view, string url)
    {
        view.EvaluateJavascript("document.getElementsByClassName('notf')[0].innerHTML;", new JavascriptResult());
    }
}

public class JavascriptResult : Java.Lang.Object, IValueCallback
{
    public string Result;

    public void OnReceiveValue(Java.Lang.Object result)
    {
        string json = ((Java.Lang.String)result).ToString();
        Result = json;
        MainActivity.textView.Text = Result.Replace("\"", string.Empty);
    }
}
