HERE SDK v3.5.0_466 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.webkit.RenderProcessGoneDetail"

Question

I am using the latest HERE SDK for this. This occurred before the MapEngine is initilaized. The Map is showing on the screen.

Android SDK Version

• compileSdkVersion 26
• buildToolsVersion "26.0.3"

Looks like this is Google's problem: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/android-webview-dev/m0EtO3IXNn0

Answer 2

On N+ new ART logging appears to have been introduced letting app developers know about certain binary compatibility problems in their code. Unfortunately, this is triggering for some of the API-level guarded code in WebView.

One example is "Failed resolution of: Landroid/webkit/RenderProcessGoneDetail;", which is triggered whenever a recent version of WebView with O features is used on an N device. This is harmless, but confusing and spammy to developers looking at logcat.

The issue is the structure of the code in WebViewContentsClientAdapter:

@Override
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
public boolean onRenderProcessGone(final AwRenderProcessGoneDetail detail) {
    // WebViewClient.onRenderProcessGone was added in O.
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.O) return false;

    try {
        TraceEvent.begin("WebViewContentsClientAdapter.onRenderProcessGone");
        return mWebViewClient.onRenderProcessGone(mWebView, new RenderProcessGoneDetail() {
            @Override
            public boolean didCrash() {
                return detail.didCrash();
            }

            @Override
            public int rendererPriorityAtExit() {
                return detail.rendererPriority();
            }
        });
    } finally {
        TraceEvent.end("WebViewContentsClientAdapter.onRenderProcessGone");
    }
}

This method early-outs on pre-O devices, which is why no actual crash occurs. However, because this function creates an instance of an anonymous inner class whose parent class is RenderProcessGoneDetail (which only exists on O+), class verification of WebViewContentsClientAdapter attempts to load RenderProcessGoneDetail and fails.
