File: activity_main.xml

or simply create an assets directory inside main directory.

package example.javatpoint.com.webview;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
WebView mywebview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
