Like Mark said:
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String
description, String failingUrl) {
//do something on error
}
});
The WebView will show a default error message and due to a bug in Android,
this message is tricky to hide. I solved it by setting the parent view
visibility to GONE and calling mWebView.setData with an empty string.
Google code page for the android issue:

Best,
