Motivation
See discussion in #10946. The motivation is to make
ReactWebViewManagermore extensible.Re-using logic from the ReactWebViewManager when implementing your own custom WebView is a pain since so much of the logic is set as
private.This PR makes for easier extension/overriding of behavior, and less duplication of code, since most of the methods/fields are set as
protectedinstead.I've also made some "create" methods for the
WebViewandWebViewBridgeso they can more easily be overridden.Test plan
The test plan is the same as the other PR (#10946). I've made an simple test app which extends
RCTWebViewManager: https://github.com/cbrevik/overrideWebviewSee CustomWebViewManager.java for a simple implementation.
