Implementing timeout in webviews

I need to implement timeout for my webviews. I want to show the user n error message if the webpage could not be loaded withi开发者_JAVA百科n a desirable time. Is there any way to do this?

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.

You may use handler.postDelayed(Runnable r, int delayInMillisec) method after webview.loadUrl() or webview.loadDataWithBaseUrl()
