and a few other fixes...

... that you can find here if you want.

/ ! \ Android migration

1. In order to update the Android target to Android 8.0 / API 26, we needed to update also the Android support library which is now hosted on maven.
So you need to update your main build.gradle like below:

allprojects {
     repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
    }
}

2. Due to the WebLayers update, you know have to use the following layout in your activities

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/fragments_container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1.0" />

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/webview_fragment_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

     <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/weblayer_fragment_container"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:visibility="gone" />

</FrameLayout>

Of course, you are still able to use your own ids, but note that methods have been renamed/added:
- int getFragmentsContainerId();
- int getFragmentContainerId();
- int getWebLayerFragmentContainerId();

3. The onUnhandledMessage method of classes inheriting from CobaltFragment are now required to return a boolean showing if they catched the message or not.
