Compose WebView Part 11 | Webpage not available

Error Screen: When the web page is not available means, you can show error message on app screen “404 page not found” or any type of error message related to the problem, instead of showing broken web page like Webpage not available.

This example demonstrates how do I load 404 files from asset directory into WebView in android.

Ref this link to load assets files : https://www.boltuix.com/2022/07/compose-webview-part-4-offline.html

In our main activity, we are going to use web client object's onReceivedError override method to handle web errors in our web view application
