How to debug javascript in webview in android

If you are not using Android 4.4, according to http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/debugging.html you're going to enjoy the old-school way of debugging ...

If you don't have a device running Android 4.4 or higher, you can debug your JavaScript using the console JavaScript APIs and view the output messages to logcat.

For Android 4.4 and better, you'll enjoy remote debugging, see https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging#debugging-webviews

Starting Android 4.4 (KitKat), you can use the DevTools to debug the contents of Android WebViews inside native Android applications.
