Answer 1

Here is what I came up with, it works like a charm.

    Boolean failedLoading = false;
    WebView webView = view.findViewById(R.id.webView);
    webView.loadUrl("www.example.com");
    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);
            if (!failedLoading) {
                webView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                webView.setAlpha(0f);
                ObjectAnimator anim  = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(webView, "alpha",1f);
                anim.setDuration(500);
                anim.start();
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onReceivedError(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request, WebResourceError error) {
            super.onReceivedError(view, request, error);
            failedLoading = true;
        }
    });

It will also work great if you add some kind of a refresh button and then you can call the code above inside a function to try again.
