How can I show the progress bar while loading data into my webview? My code :

    super.onCreate(savedInsta

Before calling loadData() function, just try to show ProgressDialog or put ProgressBar inside layout.

And inside the WebViewClient, just dismiss() the progressDialog or make the ProgressBar invisible.

for example:

// when finish loading page
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
       if(mProgress.isShowing()) {
             mProgress.dismiss();
       }
}

FYI, call loadData() or loadURL() only after you are done with web client setting.
