<p>Devices running platforms older than Android 4.4 (API level 19)
use a version of {@link android.webkit webkit} that has a number of security issues.
As a workaround, if your app is running on these devices, it
should confirm that {@link android.webkit.WebView} objects display only trusted
content. You should also use the updatable security {@link
java.security.Provider Provider} object to make sure your app isn’t exposed to
potential vulnerabilities in SSL, as described in <a
href="{@docRoot}training/articles/security-gms-provider.html">Updating Your
Security Provider to Protect Against SSL Exploits</a>. If your application must
render content from the open web, consider providing your own renderer so
you can keep it up to date with the latest security patches.</p>
