Enable back button in webview

I am just starting with the Android SDK. I wanted to create a simple WebView application that only displays local web pages. I used the examples I found on the net to do this.

The application works just fine, until I want to add a back button. When the back button is pressed, the application will shut down.

Here is my MainActivity.java

package com.hspd.avhor;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    WebView wv;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        WebView wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.hspd_webview);
        wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
                view.loadUrl(url);
                return true;
            }
        });
        wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/one.htm");
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed()
    {
        if(wv.canGoBack())
            wv.goBack();
        else
            super.onBackPressed();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

And here is my activity_main.xml :

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/hspd_webview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</ScrollView>

Here are my errors in logcat :
