Answer 1

Google play rejected my app and then I did this...

 @Override
    public void onReceivedSslError(WebView view, final SslErrorHandler handler, SslError error) {

        try {

            //Get the X509 trust manager from your ssl certificate
            X509TrustManager trustManager = mySslCertificate.getX509TrustManager();

            //Get the certificate from error object
            Bundle bundle = SslCertificate.saveState(error.getCertificate());
            X509Certificate x509Certificate;
            byte[] bytes = bundle.getByteArray("x509-certificate");
            if (bytes == null) {
                x509Certificate = null;
            } else {
                CertificateFactory certFactory = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
                Certificate cert = certFactory.generateCertificate(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes));
                x509Certificate = (X509Certificate) cert;
            }
            X509Certificate[] x509Certificates = new X509Certificate[1];
            x509Certificates[0] = x509Certificate;

            // check weather the certificate is trusted
            trustManager.checkServerTrusted(x509Certificates, "ECDH_RSA");

            Log.e(TAG, "Certificate from " + error.getUrl() + " is trusted.");
            handler.proceed();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Failed to access " + error.getUrl() + ". Error: " + error.getPrimaryError());
            final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(WebViewActivity.this);
            String message = "SSL Certificate error.";
            switch (error.getPrimaryError()) {
                case SslError.SSL_UNTRUSTED:
                    message = "The certificate authority is not trusted.";
                    break;
                case SslError.SSL_EXPIRED:
                    message = "The certificate has expired.";
                    break;
                case SslError.SSL_IDMISMATCH:
                    message = "The certificate Hostname mismatch.";
                    break;
                case SslError.SSL_NOTYETVALID:
                    message = "The certificate is not yet valid.";
                    break;
            }
            message += " Do you want to continue anyway?";

            builder.setTitle("SSL Certificate Error");
            builder.setMessage(message);
            builder.setPositiveButton("continue", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    handler.proceed();
                }
            });
            builder.setNegativeButton("cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    handler.cancel();
                }
            });
            final AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
            dialog.show();
        }
    }

After making the above changes Google play accepted my apk
