How to view a web page on an android app using WebView widget?

So I have created this simple app that will view my webpage on a "webview" widget. It works with no interruptions and its is smooth when installing, but the thing is that it doesn't show the web page, instead it says "Web page not available".

Everything is good and no Errors in Eclipse, that is the code:

    private WebView myWebView;
@SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
    myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.aramco-values.webs.com");

the SupportLint is initialized by Eclipse under the OnCreate method, I don't know if it is the problem or not because it must be there or mtWebView won't work.

ManiFest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.aramcoapp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="11"
    android:targetSdkVersion="12" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.aramcoapp.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

Eclipse warned me about the sdk that I have set at the beginning of the app creation

minimum = 11 target = 12

In order to access the Internet and load web pages in a WebView, you must add the INTERNET permissions to your Android Manifest file:

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

Source : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html

[EDIT]

WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
         webView.loadUrl("http://www.aramco-values.webs.com");

         webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
                @Override
                public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
                        Log.i("WEB_VIEW_TEST", "error code:" + errorCode);
                        super.onReceivedError(view, errorCode, description, failingUrl);
                }
             });
