Allow user to disable "upgrade webview" message

[timbze]

For some users the webview works partially (webview version 52 is that way). Modals don't show correctly but Bible text works and links can be clicked.

On some devices it's impossible to upgrade webview unless the OS provider updates it with OS update (e.g. Kindle and Teclast tablets)

In such case the user may want to disable the message since they know about the problem but want to use as is anyway.

I think the message should possibly only be disabled in Application preferences > advanced settings. And also the setting should only show if webview is lower then supported setting. That way the user will not mistakenly disable the message when it shows and then later complain that something is not working.

This support ticket is such a request. https://support.andbible.org/scp/tickets.php?id=966

For reference, this is what webview v52 does (other modals do the same thing):

I kind of think that it might be good idea to remind user about webview issue, because he might forget that and wonder how things don't work as expected. It should be smaller annoyance to press "proceed" button on every startup than having all these unexpected issues.

I would like to request a checkbox to disable this WebView notification. I have a Huawei phone which doesn't have any Google Services. From what I understand, this WebView package depends on GMS to work properly. The functionality I am using is working and I don't want to be reminded everytime about the WebView package. Please allow me to decide if I want to be notified or not.

@RepentAndBelieveTheGospel do you have the latest version of And Bible installed? There was a "fix" put in so that Huawei phones should not show this message at all, because they have different version numbers for webview. This fix should be available in 4.0.619. Ref #1932

fix should be released to huawei app gallery already
