Solution

Use this code to initialize webview and set url, it is work fine with me with all Android versions

@SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
private fun initWebView() {
    webView.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
    webView.settings.loadsImagesAutomatically = true
    webView.scrollBarStyle = View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY
    webView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null)
}

private fun webViewListener() {
    webView.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() {
        override fun onPageStarted(view: WebView?, url: String?, favicon: Bitmap?) {
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon)
             Log.d(TAG, url)  
        }
        override fun onReceivedError(view: WebView, request: WebResourceRequest,
                                     error: WebResourceError) {
            super.onReceivedError(view, request, error)
           //Error load url
        }
        override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, request: WebResourceRequest?): Boolean {
            //Loading url
            view?.loadUrl(url)
            return true
        }
    }
}

Add this line in Manifest File

   <application
    ...
    android:usesCleartextTraffic="true">
