Please try it.

backbutton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if (webView.canGoBack()) {
            webView.goBack();
        }
    }
});

@nileshpatel You provide some good answers, but please learn how to use code blocks properly: http://stackoverflow.com/editing-help. Two hints: 1. Any line that's indented at least 4 spaces will be in a code block, so if you don't add 4 spaces to the whole thing, the lines at the leftmost level will be left out. 2. You don't need to add 4 space to each line manually. Just select the code and click the **{}** in the tool bar. – Adi Inbar Jul 31 '13 at 21:04

You can initiate another loading if you override onPageFinished method of WebViewClient or if you modify shouldOverrideUrlLoading.
