Answer 1

All you need to do is Override onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState.

@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState ){
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    mWebView.saveState(outState);
}

@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState){
    super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
    mWebView.restoreState(savedInstanceState);
}

and one other solution could be to update your Activity tag in manifest to

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
