Calling View methods on another thread than the UI thread.; 
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Calling View methods on another thread than the UI thread.

If runOnUiThread is not available for whatever reason, you can also use the following code to bypass this error (say you are wanting access to a View without needing to display it):

Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
try
{
    handler.post(
        new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                DesiredMethod(); // Where this method runs the code you're needing
            }
        }
    );
} catch (Exception e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}

what's your code like? you can try

 runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {

            // TODO Your code
        }
    });

just check migrating web view of 4.4 google added and changed some things in it here

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Code for WebView goes here
    }
});


// This code is BAD and will block the UI thread
webView.loadUrl("javascript:fn()");
while(result == null) {
  Thread.sleep(100);
}
