How to show No Internet connection dialog in WebView

How to show No Internet connection dialog in WebView Android Studio?

Hi Everyone, Let’s continue with our WebView app development series. This is our 11th article. In this Android tutorial lesson, we will show you How to check internet connection and How to show No Internet connection dialog.

Here, I will show you how to fix the ‘WebView webpage not available’ page instead of the ‘no internet connection’ alert box page. And we will add a “Try again” button to reload the web page.

Actually, this is very simple code. You have easily made this problem instead of webpage not available in no internet connection alert box. In the previous post, I explained How to Add Swipe Down Refresh in Android WebView?

How to show No Internet connection dialog in WebView

1. First Open your Android Studio project.

2. Then inside MyWebViewClient add this code.

public void onReceivedError(WebView webView, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
try {
webView.stopLoading();
} catch (Exception ignored) {
}

if (webView.canGoBack()) {
webView.goBack();
}

webView.loadUrl("#");
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Error");
alertDialog.setMessage("Check your internet connection and try again.");
alertDialog.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "Try Again", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
finish();
startActivity(getIntent());
}
});

alertDialog.show();
super.onReceivedError(webView, errorCode, description, failingUrl);
}

Here is the full code (MainActivity.java)
