Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <ProgressBar
      android:id="@+id/progressBar"
      android:max="3"
      android:progress="100"
      style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
      android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
   <WebView
      android:id="@+id/webView"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      android:layout_below="@+id/progressBar"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   WebView webview;
   ProgressBar progressBar;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      webview = findViewById(R.id.webView);
      progressBar = findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
      webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
      webview.loadUrl("https://www.google.com");
   }
   public class WebViewClient extends android.webkit.WebViewClient {
      @Override
      public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
         super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
      }
      @Override
      public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
         view.loadUrl(url);
         return true;
      }
      @Override
      public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
         super.onPageFinished(view, url);
         progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
      }
   }
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="app.com.sample">
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
   <application

      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
