It's a bug. You'll need to create an Activity that uses the Dialog theme and "re-create" the dialog including buttons, etc. while also containing the Webview.
<activity android:name=".TwitterForm" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" android:label="@string/twitter_form"> </activity> Now create a "webview_dialog.xml" view in Layout folder. Have it contain a Linear Layout (or Relative/Frame, whatever) where you have a Webview as a child and maybe another LL as child with two buttons (OK, Cancel) as the children of this LL. In your Activity where you want to use it, inflate this view, then programmatically (in Java) set the properties of the Webview just as you would a standard Webview. Then, wire up the buttons with their respective onClick events, etc. Sorry I can't show more code, but I just had to implement this last week because of the issue you are facing...
