You should be alright, but if you don't have a certificate from a trusted authority you will need to somehow handle this.

The following snipped of code

webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewId);
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
    public void onReceivedSslError (WebView view, 
        SslErrorHandler handler, SslError error) {
            handler.proceed() ;
    }
}

will display a dialog to the user, verifying if they trust your site and wish to continue or not.

We have been using HTTPS with webviews for one of our applications with no problems. We process payments through it, so you're safe to use it.

Just make sure you're using a certificate from a trusted authority so you don't need any hacks.
