+/**
+ * <p>Compatibility <code>EditorWebView</code> for pre-Chromium WebView (API<19). Provides a custom method for executing
+ * JavaScript, {@link #loadJavaScript(String)}, instead of {@link WebView#loadUrl(String)}. This is needed because
+ * <code>WebView#loadUrl(String)</code> on API<19 eventually calls <code>WebViewClassic#hideSoftKeyboard()</code>,
+ * hiding the keyboard whenever JavaScript is executed.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>This class uses reflection to access the normally inaccessible <code>WebViewCore#sendMessage(Message)</code>
+ * and use it to execute JavaScript, sidestepping <code>WebView#loadUrl(String)</code> and the keyboard issue.</p>
