Answer 1

In android 4.0.3, seems the setFindIsUp is a private method. So above code won't work. As getMethod() method won't return the private methods. Following is a work-around to call the private method which works for 4.0.3:

try{
    //Can't use getMethod() as it's a private method
    for(Method m : WebView.class.getDeclaredMethods()){
        if(m.getName().equals("setFindIsUp")){
            m.setAccessible(true);
            m.invoke(view, true);
            break;
        }
    }
}catch(Exception ignored){}
