Try to add setContentView before getting WebView

Replace your code with this

setContentView(R.layout.htmldesplay); 
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.htmlviewer);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");

instead of

webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.htmlviewer);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");
setContentView(R.layout.htmldesplay);

It happens... "You need to set the layout using setContentView and then initialize views." Take care..

You are getting the WebView before setting the Content view so the webView is probably null.

Try this,

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

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
    webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");



}
