You can call loadErrorPage(view) function in the onReceivedError function.

The following code will load the error content you need to show.Here i am load the html file with loadDataWithBaseURL.

public void loadErrorPage(WebView webview){
        if(webview!=null){

            String htmlData ="
"This is the description for the load fail : "+description+"\nThe failed url is : "+failingUrl+"\n"
";

            webview.loadUrl("about:blank");
            webview.loadDataWithBaseURL(null,htmlData, "text/html", "UTF-8",null);
            webview.invalidate();

        }
    }
