Try to set layer type like below. I think that problem is Kitkat issue.

webview.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);

Edit: I make research about this issue, you can check these links below. Your question looks like a duplicate of them.

Sizes that are implemented with percentages may crash your webview, I'm not really certain why, so if you can change that, your webview might work properly.

It took me half a day to find it, but it worked for me.
