    mWeb.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
}

or

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19) {
        mWebView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK);
}

4. Ensure that you don't have webView.getSettings().setBlockNetworkLoads (false);. Thanks to TechNikh for pointing this out.

5. If all else fails, make sure that your Android Studio, Android SDK and the emulator image (if you are using one) is updated. And if you are still meeting the problem, just open a new question and make a comment below to your URL.
