Evaluation of jdorn's json-editor being used in an Android WebView.

This is a test project to evaluate Jeremy Dorn's most excellent json-editor JSON Schema Based Editor being used within a WebView in an Android application. It also makes use of other libraries (jQuery, Spectrum colour picker) for reasons discussed below.

WebView colour picker problem work-around

The project makes use of Spectrum to pollyfill in place of the native <input type="color"> because of the fact that, at least in my experience, the WebView's native colour picker fails to work, crashing with an exception relating to com.android.org.chromium.ui.ColorPickerAdvanced.

Comments in index.html explain how I managed to get Spectrum to play nicely with the JSON editor.
