Use WebView.evaluateJavascript() for KitKat and higher #8

Using WebView.loadUrl("javascript:...") works differently when targetting KitKat or newer. After KitKat, calling loadUrl() will evaluate the URL and completely replace the contents of the current page. To avoid losing JavaScript variable bindings, we should use WebView.evaluateJavascript() (added in KitKat).
