Android: Remote webview debugging for API level below 19?

Question

I understand that remote debugging via chrome://inspect was added in API level 19 for webviews. However, I'm developing an app which supports devices 17+. Its just that on API 19, I get 02-28 00:31:16.569 12332-12332/package E/Web Console: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL at null:1 which is not very helpful.

Is there any other way to debug android webview for API < 19? At least can I see JS console?

Did u read [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20159855/android-webview-uncaught-syntaxerror-unexpected-token-illegal)? — keshav, Feb 27 '17 at 19:15

The recommendation is to the the JavaScript console API for below Android 4.4

https://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/debugging.html

But if you want something less directly manual see:

See: How can I debug javascript on Android?

and specifically look for things like Cordova/Weinre or other JavaScript based debugging framework.
