Answer 1

The disabling of the hardware accelerator comes with heavy performance toll, In my case I found out that in Kitkat this happened to me when I was re instantiating the webview element within an activity that was finished and later restarted. After a lot of trial and error, when I added:

RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.webViewContainer);
layout.removeAllViews();
webview.destroy();

Just before ending the activity, it seems to have the problem solved. I haven't tested it on many devices yet but if this solution is proper, then it is better by far than disabling the hardware acceleration for KitKat for the webview.
