What you have inside a webView can't be handled from the app, you load a url in your web view so everything goes inside the webView is related to the url that you have loaded. what you can do with web view is fore example just refreshing it by swipe refresh. or handling state by :

inner class WebClientCustom : WebViewClient(){

    override fun onPageStarted(view: WebView?, url: String?, favicon: Bitmap?) {
        super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon)
    }

    override fun onPageFinished(view: WebView?, url: String?) {
        super.onPageFinished(view, url)
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
    override fun onReceivedError(view: WebView?, request: WebResourceRequest?, error: WebResourceError?) {
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    override fun onReceivedError(view: WebView, errorCode: Int, description: String, failingUrl: String) {
    }

}
