React-native: [WebView] [Android] Geolocation does not work inside a WebView, the permission request popup never opens

[anna-gladushko]

Further improvement for https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/f94abd3c012bd89b35b6a8165ffce1037c36cef2 is suggested:

webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() { public void onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt(String origin, GeolocationPermissions.Callback callback) { callback.invoke(origin, true, false); } });
