is there any way to detect the clicks in the webview?

I am opening a website in my android app and I want to show ads on the specific number of clicks in the app. So, is there anyway? I can detect whether the user has clicked or not? and based on click I can show ads to them?

What I have tried:

what code should I add to check whether the user has clicked or not in the webview?
I don't know how to detect it because there is no button that i have placed manually all the material is of website

yes buddy but it didn't worked for me :(
i am opening webview in fragment i tried throught stackoverflow's each post.

One method-->https://medium.com/@kpbird/android-webview-detect-html-element-on-click-263431c52e01 worked but it could able to detect only 2clicks :(
when i changed return statement to true in below mentioned code:

wv.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
WebView.HitTestResult hr = ((WebView)v).getHitTestResult();

return false;
}
});

It could able to detect clicks but i wasn't able to scroll down after that

You can be notified about clicking on links like so:

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
  @Override
  public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    // The webView is about to navigate to the specified url.	
    return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
  }
});
