What if you put that class outside? public class test extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.alt); final EditText edittext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittext); final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.okay); button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { Editable text = edittext.getText(); String Tekst = text.toString(); setContentView(R.layout.main); WebView mWebView; mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); mWebView.loadUrl(Tekst); mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient()); } }); } private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { view.loadUrl(url); return true; } } } answered Dec 25 '10 at 2:06

	Change mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); to mWebView = (WebView) test.this.findViewById(R.id.webview); Also, in Java class names should start with a capital letter. answered Dec 25 '10 at 2:09

	The problem is that you declare your class AFTER you use it. Move line mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient()); AFTER class declaration. answered Dec 10 '12 at 19:23
