Answer 1

I had the same issue today,

The problem: onPageFinished is called always. If there is an error it will be called after onErrorReceived.

This is the solution I've found:

holder.image.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

    private boolean error;

    @Override
    public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {

        super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
        error = false;
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceivedError( WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl)  {

        error = true;
        System.out.println("description error" + description);
        view.setVisibility( View.GONE );
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {

        if (!error) {
            view.setVisibility( View.VISIBLE );
        }
        error = false;
    }

});
