Alternatively, you may be to work-around it by using a native app containing a WebView, and then apply a theme in res/values/themes.xml to your app which overrides webTextViewStyle with your own style:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:syle/Theme">
        <item name="android:webTextViewStyle">@style/MyWebTextView</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Then assign this to you app in the Manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.mywebapp" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/MyTheme">
        .
        .
        .
    </application>
</manifest>

Then simply load your html in to your WebView and see if the text input control has adopted the new style.
