I found a code that should check wether the application is offline and has to load the cache or when in online mode and has to load url. This is the code I used for that:

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) this.getSystemService(Activity.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
String weblink = "http://www.google.com";
if(cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()){
    myWebView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT);
    myWebView.loadUrl(weblink);
} else {
    myWebView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK);
    myWebView.loadUrl(weblink);
}

And these are my permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permisson.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>

My problem: When I’m in airplane mode or my connections are off. The app force closes. When I’m online the app just loads and acts normal… What did I wrong?

This is my logcat:

Okay to make it more easier here is the whole code:

package com.martijngijselaar.rooster;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.net.ConnectivityManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.MotionEvent;

import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class SaxionRoosterActivity extends Activity {
    private static final int MENU1 = Menu.FIRST;
    private static final int MENU2 = Menu.FIRST + 1;
    private static final int MENU3 = Menu.FIRST + 2;

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

        // Checken of er een connectie is, zo niet dan de chache laden, zo wel dan gewoon het netwerk laden!!
        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) this.getSystemService(Activity.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        String weblink = "http://google.com/";
        if(cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()){
            myWebView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT);
            myWebView.loadUrl(weblink);
        } else {
            myWebView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK);
            myWebView.loadUrl(weblink);
        }

        // Zorgen dat je input kunt gebruiken in de webview
        myWebView.requestFocus(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
        myWebView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                switch (event.getAction()) {
                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                        if (!v.hasFocus()) {
                            v.requestFocus();
                        }
                        break;
                }
                return false;
            }

        });
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        menu.add(0, MENU1, 0, "Wijzig klas");
        menu.add(0, MENU2, 0, "Disclaimer");
        menu.add(0, MENU3, 0, "Sluiten");
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case MENU1:
            myWebView.loadUrl("http://google.nl");
            return true;
        case MENU2:
            myWebView.loadUrl("http://google.nl");
            return true;
        case MENU3:
            finish();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

    Your check for the connection needs to be tweaked. Although there is a property called isConnected you first need to check if getActiveNetworkInfo() returns null. If it returns null, there is no active network info – this is what you would get in airplane mode.
    This is the check that I use for network connectivity 

    private boolean isNetworkAvailable() {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return activeNetworkInfo != null;
}
