How to stop a webview Android?

android WebView stop running

• I have the following problem with a WebView Control. My webview is defined in a Activity as follows: public class MyWebView extends Activity { private WebView webview; ... @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.mywebview); ... webview = new WebView(getApplicationContext()); webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() { ... }); webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() { ... }); ... webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.de"); } Everything works fine, the Webpage is opened. But if close the Activity (Back-Button pressed) and go back to my main-menue, the WebView seems not to be closed. The http-threads keeps running. If I open about 10 several pages one after another, the Webpages are not nonger loadet, but "Webpage not available" is displayd in the WebView. What is wrong? How to close the WebView? webview.destroy(); webview = null; e.g. does not work. Thanx a lot for any suggestions!
