Answer 1

I know this is an old question but anyone with this issue might find interesting focusing on this function:

mWebView.getSettings().setGeolocationDatabasePath(getFilesDir().getPath());

Geolocation uses databases to persist cached positions and permissions between sessions. This call sets the location of the database.

Instead of setting a fixed path as parameter you should get it dynamically calling:

getFilesDir().getPath()
