We can use onLoadResource method of WebViewClient instead of Timer . Like this:

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
    @Override 
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return false;
    @Override 
    public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
        super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
        progressDialog.show();
    @Override
    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
        super.onPageFinished(view, url);
        Log.d("WEBCLIENT", "onPageFinished");
    @Override 
    public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
        super.onLoadResource(view, url);
        Log.d("WEBCLIENT","onLoadResource");
        if(webView.getProgress() == 100) {
            progressDialog.dismiss();
                If the webpage is stuck means, its progress will not be 100 , So the progress bar will be displayed until , the webView.getProgress() is 100

                The question was not about progress bar, but timeout. This method would not work if the webpage loading gets completely stuck at some percent because none of these functions would get called, so there would be no possibility to take action.

I use
@Override
    public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCod,String description, String failingUrl) {
        final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(MainActivity.this, android.R.style.Theme_NoTitleBar_Fullscreen);
        dialog.setContentView(R.layout.alert_dialog);
        Button btTryAgain = dialog.findViewById(R.id.bt_try_again);
        btTryAgain.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v){
                recreate();
        dialog.show();
        //Toast with error conection
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your Internet Connection May not be active Or " + description , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Where -alert_dialog- is a layout with a button to retry
                inside your code, I see use of recreate(); on retry click. So, instead of recreate(); you may use WebView's reload() method. it will attempt to reload the entire web page.
