[Android] Failed to load WebView provider: No WebView installed

[marf]

Hello,
for some users on Android we get this crash since they do not have any WebView installed:

Fatal Exception: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: android.webkit.WebViewFactory$MissingWebViewPackageException: Failed to load WebView provider: No WebView installed
       at android.webkit.WebViewFactory.getProviderClass(WebViewFactory.java:435)

       at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:919)

Is it possible to release a version of the package where this crash is trapped so that it does not result in a crash.
