Add onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt() to MyChromeWebViewClient as below:

private class MyChromeWebViewClient extends WebChromeClient {

    @Override
    public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
        // Activities and WebViews measure progress with different scales.
        // The progress meter will automatically disappear when we reach 100%
        activity.setProgress(progress * 100);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onJsAlert(WebView view, String url, String message, JsResult result) {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, message);
        // This shows the dialog box.  This can be commented out for dev
        AlertDialog.Builder alertBldr = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
        alertBldr.setMessage(message);
        alertBldr.setTitle("Alert");
        alertBldr.show();
        result.confirm();
        return true;
    }

    public void onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt(String origin, GeolocationPermissions.Callback callback) {
        callback.invoke(origin, true, false);
    }
}

You need to import "android.webkit.GeolocationPermissions".
