Unable to get event listener call back from WebView in Xamarin forms

Question

I have my mobile application build using Xamarin forms, which consist of a webView loaded into my application. The WebView Consist of buttons and icons being loaded. I have a requirement to make the button event Listener being called , so that I can do the corresponding functionality. Can anyone help me in how to get the button events being called in Xamarin forms.

source code:

Control.SetWebViewClient(new HybridWebViewClient());
            Control.SetWebChromeClient(new MyWebClient(mContext));

            Control.LoadUrl(Control.Url);

 internal class HybridWebViewClient : WebViewClient
        {


            public override async void OnPageFinished(Android.Webkit.WebView view, string url)


            {
                base.OnPageFinished(view, url);

                int i = 10;
                while (view.ContentHeight == 0 && i-- > 0)
                
                    await Task.Delay(1000);
                    // find the particular button
                    
                    string funcurl = " var btn1 =document.getElementsByClassName('inspectionStartingBtnClose')[0]; if(btn1 != null){btn1.addEventListener('click', function() { alert('dosomething'); })";
                    view.LoadUrl("javascript: r(function(){" + funcurl + "");
                

            }

        }
