To see the webview context using driver.context() method WebView debugging should be enabled; developer must enable ‘setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled’ flag in the WebView class. This flag enables debugging of web contents (HTML / CSS / JavaScript) loaded into any WebViews of app. Once this is done driver.context() method will return native and webview both contexts.

    Set<String> availableContexts = driver.getContextHandles();
    System.out.println("Total No of Context Found = "+ availableContexts.size());
    for(String context : availableContexts) {
        if(context.contains("WEBVIEW")){
            System.out.println("Context Name is " + context);
            driver.context(context);
            break;
        }
    }

Note - You cannot do this for third party app like facebook because you may not rebuild that app with webview debugger enabled.
