Answer 1

Force Close Error is occurred due to NullPointerException caused by dialog. shouldOverrideUrlLoading() method is called only when links inside a WebView are clicked and not called when you try to load webpage via webview.loadUrl(url). So here your dialog is not initialized and causing the NullPointerException.

I suggest you to use webchromeclient and ProgressBar(pb) to show the webpage loading Progress as below sample.

wv.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient(){

         public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) 
         {

             pb.setProgress(progress);
             if(progress==100)
                 pb.setVisibility(View.GONE);
          }


    });
