protected void setupWebChromeClient(ReactContext reactContext, WebView webView) {
    if (reactContext == null || reactContext.getCurrentActivity() == null) {
      Log.e("RNCWebViewManager setupWebChromeClient()", "Cannot call reactContext.getCurrentActivity()");
      return;
    }
    ...
 }

In addition to this, you have to import android.util.log in order to run the above log, otherwise your app won’t build.
