Recently I got a bug report on my Crashlytic logs for a device with OS 7.1.1. I'm using Webview in my application to show web URL with my customize CSS.
This is the crash stack trace :

From the stack trace, it is clear that android application is not able to find Webview in the device.
How to handle this and make the user install system Webview if it is not present in the system. This is mainly happening in Android Nougat OS devices.
