Replacing Android System WebView Issue

[Sneha Dalvi]

Hi all,

I am following these instructions to build a new system webview apk with modifications.

Then I am trying to replace the existing system webview by this new one in Android Lollipop 5.0.0 emulator and running a test app which opens a webpage in webview.
But, I am getting the following error while opening a webpage in webview. In my opinion, the highlighted line is causing the error.

Can anybody please explain me what's wrong here or suggest any directions?
That would be a great help.

Thanks

Try syncing. There was a recent change to some usage of ApplicationContext that had to be reverted. You may have checked out some time in the middle.
