Welcome @haris!

The code you found is java. It's different from c# but also have a lot similarities.

If you want this particular java snippet in c# you would have do write something like this:

    using Android.Webkit;
    public class CustomWebChromeClient : WebChromeClient { 

        public override void OnCloseWindow(Android.Webkit.WebView window)
        {
            base.OnCloseWindow(window);
            //Your favorite logging library call.
        }

    }

A quick explanation (in case you are interested).

In java snippet a ref to anonymous class which extends WebChromeClient is created and then we extend base onCloseWindow method by adding addition logging.

In c# the same can not be done so what I did, just created a named class CustomWebChromeClient which extends WebChromeClient and overrides OnCloseWindow
