Hi,
I am getting the following Throwable Exception when I try to display android Webview using setContentView() of android in Qt Application.

W/webview_proxy( 9549): java.lang.Throwable: Warning: A WebView method was called on thread 'Thread-845'. All WebView methods must be called on the UI thread. Future versions of WebView may not support use on other threads.

Why this is happening, Please provide the solution.

The error message indicates also the solution:

"All WebView methods must be called on the UI thread."

So, you must execute the method on the UI thread. For doing so, the Android API provides the runOnUIThread method:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#runOnUiThread(java.lang.Runnable)

I written the code as follows even then it is throwing same Exception:

public void invokeview(){

 final Activity activity=this;

         webView = new WebView(this);
         new Thread() {
                    public void run() {

                            try {
                                activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                                    @Override
                                    public void run() {
                                    webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
                                    webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
                                     setContentView(webView);
                                    }
                                });

                            } catch (Exception e) {
                                e.printStackTrace();

                        }
                    }
                }.start();
}
