Code is

m_dialog = new Dialog(ContactInfoActivity.this, R.style.Dialog_No_Border);
    m_dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);


    LayoutInflater m_inflater = LayoutInflater.from(ContactInfoActivity.this);
    View m_view = m_inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_contact, null);
    m_llMain = (LinearLayout) m_view.findViewById(R.id.cadllMain);

    m_llMain.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.btn_style_roundcorner);

    WebView wv = (WebView) m_dialog.findViewById(R.id.webview1);
    //WebView wv = new WebView(this);
    wv.loadUrl("http:\\www.google.com");
    wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            view.loadUrl(url);

            return true;
        }
    });

    m_dialog.setContentView(m_view);
    m_dialog.show();

Answer 1

i think you are not setting the layout in activity. try this

 setContentView(R.layout.activity_web_view_sample);

Answer 2

If webView1 is in R.layout.activity_contact do this..

WebView wv = (WebView) m_view.findViewById(R.id.webview1);

Answer 3

m_dialog does not have a R.id.webview1 widget, apparently.

If R.id.webview1 is in R.layout.activity_contact, call findViewById() on m_llMain, not m_dialog.
