I have a webview in which am loading an xhtml. I have a string in the page, say "Machine Head" which is unique, i.e., it is the only word which is present. I need to find the offset(pixel) of that string using javascript so that I can scroll accordingly. Am not able to find a function that will take String as an input and return the pixel offset of the position from where the string begins.

There is no such function. Can you add an anchor and navigate to it instead? So add <a href='#machine_head' /> in your page and call webView.loadUrl("http://....html#machine_head");? Alternavively you could try using JavaScript to scroll to the right element as described here.
