        settings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        Browser.requestFocusFromTouch();

if i load the same page in browser it works properly. is't possible to create pop in web view

Answer 1

If you want to show a pop-up with the new page, you will need to call back into java to create an android dialog view over the web view and load another web view into that. window.close will not work because that does not close the web view ; it still remains open. Instead, you will need to call back into java again and finish() the activity that has the web view open. This would close the web view.
