This works fine in your xml layout:

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/myWebView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scrollbarThumbVertical="@color/primary_container_on_primary"
    android:scrollbarSize="2dp"/>

WebSettings WebSettings12 = browser.getSettings();
WebSettings12.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webview.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
webview.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
webview.loadUrl("https://google.com");

in your onCreate() method : try this : 

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.your_web_view_layout); 

    browser = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.your_webview);
    WebSettings mWebSettings = browser.getSettings();
    mWebSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    browser.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
    browser.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
    browser.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");
}
