Better with Base64.encode:

String url = "http://www.example.com";
String postData = "username=my_username&password=my_password";
webview.postUrl(url,Base64.encode(postData.getBytes(), Base64.DEFAULT));

In some cases works better:

String url = "http://www.example.com";
postData = "username="+URLEncoder.encode("my_username", "UTF-8")+"&password="+URLEncoder.encode("my_password", "UTF-8");
 webview.postUrl(url,postData.getBytes());
