Implementing timeout in webviews

Issue

I need to implement timeout for my webviews. I want to show the user n error message if the webpage could not be loaded within a desirable time. Is there any way to do this?

Solution

See Android WebView TimeOut You basicly have a timer that checks the progress of the webview at some time intervals by calling getProgress(). If the progress hasen't reached your chosen threshold value after a specific time you call the error message.
