Open the connection yourself, see if it's a 404, if it is, use your own html, if it's not, display the given html.

I'm not sure about the specifics of the android C API for network connections, but there should be a handler for it somwhere. Try to make a TCP connection, and if it fails, display your error page. Else, continue as normal.

What ever library you use it will have something similar to default Android implementation of HttpResponse.getStatusLine()link from which you get StatusLine and here you can get actual code value. This is often in libraries simplyfied to something like HttpResponse.getStatusCode or similar

So all you have to do is fire your HttpRequest, wait for HttpResponse, then evaluate for what ever error messages you want.
