please explain your question in detail. according to my understanding send custom error code using Intent on basis of error code show error web page. 

     WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
         wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            @Override
            public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
super.onReceivedError(view, errorCode, description, failingUrl);                    
Log.i("WEB_VIEW_TEST", "error code:" + errorCode);
    mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/myerrorpage.html");

            }
         });

I assume there was an error on the website that was loaded, and you want to communicate this to the app.

You can use Javascript binding for this.

If you meant the other way around: there is an error in the app and you want to show an error page, you can simply load a different url using webView.loadUrl(...)
