Answer 1

I had to override WebViewClient.onReceivedHttpError() instead of WebViewClient.onReceivedError().

    @Override
    public void onReceivedHttpError(final WebView view, final WebResourceRequest request, WebResourceResponse errorResponse) {
        final int statusCode;
        // SDK < 21 does not provide statusCode
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 21) {
            statusCode = STATUS_CODE_UNKNOWN;
        } else {
            statusCode = errorResponse.getStatusCode();
        }

        Log().d(LOG_TAG, "[onReceivedHttpError]" + statusCode);
    }

From the WebClient documentation:

/**
 * Notify the host application that an HTTP error has been received from the server while
 * loading a resource.  HTTP errors have status codes >= 400.  This callback will be called
 * for any resource (iframe, image, etc), not just for the main page. Thus, it is recommended to
 * perform minimum required work in this callback. Note that the content of the server
 * response may not be provided within the errorResponse parameter.
 * @param view The WebView that is initiating the callback.
 * @param request The originating request.
 * @param errorResponse Information about the error occured.
 */
public void onReceivedHttpError(
        WebView view, WebResourceRequest request, WebResourceResponse errorResponse) {
}
