You can try this code into your activity      private void startWebView WebView webView String url     webView setWebViewClient new WebViewClient                 ProgressDialog progressDialog               public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading WebView view  String url                    view loadUrl url                   return false                              Override             public void onPageStarted WebView view  String url  Bitmap favicon                    super onPageStarted view  url  favicon                              public void onLoadResource  WebView view  String url                         if  progressDialog    null                            progressDialog   new ProgressDialog SponceredDetailsActivity this                           progressDialog setMessage  Loading                               progressDialog show                                                     public void onPageFinished WebView view  String url                    try                      if  progressDialog isShowing                              progressDialog dismiss                            progressDialog   null                                          catch Exception exception                       exception printStackTrace                                                          webView getSettings   setJavaScriptEnabled true           webView loadUrl url           Call this method using this way   startWebView web view  Your Url      Sometimes if URL is dead it will redirected and it will come to  onLoadResource   before  onPageFinished method  For this reason progress bar will not dismis  To solve this issue see my this Answer   Thanks

The best approch which worked for me is   webView setWebViewClient new WebViewClient           Override public void onPageStarted WebView view  String url  Bitmap favicon              super onPageStarted view  url  favicon             mProgressBar setVisibility ProgressBar VISIBLE             webView setVisibility View INVISIBLE                   Override public void onPageCommitVisible WebView view  String url          super onPageCommitVisible view  url         mProgressBar setVisibility ProgressBar GONE         webView setVisibility View VISIBLE         isWebViewLoadingFirstPage false

Put a progress bar and the webview inside a relativelayout and set the properties for the progress bar as follows    Make its visibility as GONE  CENTRE it in the Relativelayout    and then in onPageStarted   of the webclient make the progress bar visible so that it shows the progressbar when you have clicked on a link  In onPageFinished    make the progress bar visiblility as GONE so that it disappears when the page has finished loading    This will work fine for your scenario  Hope this helps
