You should move setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); before web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);

Correct with below:

WebView web;
@Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);

    web.getSettings().setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);
    web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    web.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
    web.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
    web.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(false);
    web.getSettings().setSaveFormData(false);
   web.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/parallel.html");
 }

in your onCreate() method.

Try this..

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); must be before WebView initialization

WebView web;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
     web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);

        web.getSettings().setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);
        web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        web.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
        web.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
        web.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(false);
        web.getSettings().setSaveFormData(false);
    web.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/parallel.html");
}
