title: Android - Use WebView to evaluate a javascript string and return the value
body: <p>Given that scripting is not natively supported in Android and wrapping libraries like  javax.script.ScriptEngine  into your app will make it too large, is it possible to send a javascript string to an invisible WebView and have it evaluate the string and return you the results (another string)?</p>
  
  <p>I want to go this route because I want to save all my scripts to disk so my app can remain small.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong> </p>
  
  <p>I need Java code to evaluate javascript strings not the other way around. <strong>addJavascriptInterface()</strong> doesn't help.</p>
