How to enable javascript in your android webview include the following code in MainActivity.OnCreate:

localWebView.Settings.JavaScriptEnabled = true;
localWebView.Settings.DomStorageEnabled = true;

The first allows javascript to work, the second will allow values to be stored in your HTML/DOM.

It is probably due to insecure content stuff that is introduced in lollipop.

if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= BuildVersionCodes.Lollipop)
     webView.Settings.MixedContentMode = MixedContentHandling.AlwaysAllow;

Try adding these lines and see if that works.
