This is because WebView takes some time to load the Data and until it does that you will be seeing a Black Screen or a empty screen.

To overcome this, you can use the WebViewClient and show a ProgressDialog until the WebView loads the data completely.

  webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()

              {
                       @Override
                    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, final String url) {
                         progressdialog.dismiss();
                    }
                       @Override
                    public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url,
                        Bitmap favicon) {
                    progressdialog.show();

                    }
              });
