android webview displaying blank page

Question

I have an android application that I am developing using the emulator running on android 2.3.3 with an embedded WebView in a framelayout nested in a linearlayout (vertical).

I think What you need is WebViewClient. After setting webviewclient call webview.loadUrl(_url); Somethin like this ....

private void loadUrlInWebView(String _URL){
    WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewer);     

    WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
    webSettings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);

    myWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
    myWebView.loadUrl(_URL);
}

private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient{
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {         

            view.loadUrl(url);

        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
        Toast.makeText(activity, "Oh no! " + description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}
