What is PackageManager.FEATURE_WEBVIEW?

Question

My application uses WebView. Starting with L-preview, a new property filter has appeared:

FEATURE_WEBVIEW. Declares that your application should only be installed on devices that fully implement the android.webkit API. *. Example:

<uses-feature android:name="android.software.webview" android:required="true" />

Source: http://developer.android.com/preview/api-overview.html#Manifest

I would like to understand the influence and reason for this filter of functions.

• Which devices will not implement the full android.webkit file. API?
• If I add this line to my AndroidManifest.xml, I expect my application to be available for Android 2.3-4.4. It's true?
