Android: WebView compatibility (Chromium and WebKit WebView)

If I want to support the Chromium WebView, I set minimum required SDK to API 19: Android 4.4 (KitKat). Works fine.

But if I set the SDK to API 16 Android 4.1, I can support more devices via the old WebKit WebView.

My question is, if I set it to API 16, will users who are running Android 4.4+ see the Chromium WebView or will they be stuck with the old WebView?

Users, who will running Android 4.4+ will see the Chromium WebView only. There is no "old" or "new" WebView in Android - only current version, which depends on OS version. For more details, read: https://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/migrating.html
