2. Internet Connection Error:

AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

MainActivity.java

import android.app.AlertDialog;

3. Back & Exit Feature:

MainActivity.java

//set back button functionality
@Override
public void onBackPressed() { //if user presses the back button do this
    if (webview.isFocused() && webview.canGoBack()) { //check if in webview and the user can go back

        new AlertDialog.Builder(this) //alert the person knowing they are about to close
                .setTitle("EXIT")
                .setMessage("Are you sure. You want to close this app?")
                .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        finish();
                    }
                })
                .setNegativeButton("No", null)
                .show();
    }
}

4. Swipe Down to Refresh:

activity_main.xml

<androidx.swiperefreshlayout.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
    android:id="@+id/swipeContainer"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
