For security reasons, WebView is not allowed in privileged processes报错解决

之前在做项目时，客户提供的apk合入过程中启动报错，查看log发现报错时有exception，如下：

For security reasons, WebView is not allowed in privileged processes。

搜索源码，在frameworks/base/core/java/android/webkit/WebViewFactory.java中找到了这条log语句。

    static WebViewFactoryProvider getProvider() {
        synchronized (sProviderLock) {
            // For now the main purpose of this function (and the factory abstraction) is to keep
            // us honest and minimize usage of WebView internals when binding the proxy.
            if (sProviderInstance != null) return sProviderInstance;

            final int uid = android.os.Process.myUid();
            if (uid == android.os.Process.ROOT_UID || uid == android.os.Process.SYSTEM_UID) {
                throw new UnsupportedOperationException(
                        "For security reasons, WebView is not allowed in privileged processes");
            }

            Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_WEBVIEW, "WebViewFactory.getProvider()");
            try {
                Class<WebViewFactoryProvider> providerClass = getProviderClass();

                StrictMode.ThreadPolicy oldPolicy = StrictMode.allowThreadDiskReads();
                Trace.traceBegin(Trace.TRACE_TAG_WEBVIEW, "providerClass.newInstance()");
                try {
                    sProviderInstance = providerClass.getConstructor(WebViewDelegate.class)
                            .newInstance(new WebViewDelegate());
                    if (DEBUG) Log.v(LOGTAG, "Loaded provider: " + sProviderInstance);
                    return sProviderInstance;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.e(LOGTAG, "error instantiating provider", e);
                    throw new AndroidRuntimeException(e);
                } finally {
                    Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_WEBVIEW);
                    StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(oldPolicy);
                }
            } finally {
                Trace.traceEnd(Trace.TRACE_TAG_WEBVIEW);
            }
        }
    }

可以看到是因为该app的uid是ROOT_UID或者SYSTEM_UID并且该app直接或者间接调用了WebViewFactory类的getProvider方法。

之前KK的源码中并没有这个保护条件，但是5.1的源码中就有了。所以保证不影响其它功能的情况下，在app中去掉root或者system uid就可以了。
