Android webview loadurl cause native crash after WebViewTransport.sendToTarget

Issue

webview settings:

mWebView.getSettings().setSupportMultipleWindows(true);

webChromeClient settings:

mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
        @Override
        public boolean onCreateWindow(WebView view, boolean isDialog, boolean isUserGesture, Message resultMsg) {

            WebView childWebView = new WebView(view.getContext());

            childWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());

            parentView.addView(childWebView);
            WebView.WebViewTransport transport = (WebView.WebViewTransport) resultMsg.obj;
            transport.setWebView(childWebView);
            resultMsg.sendToTarget();
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public void onCloseWindow(WebView window) {
            super.onCloseWindow(window);
            parentView.removeView(window);
        }
});

webViewclient settings:

class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient
{
    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
        view.loadUrl(request.getUrl().toString());
        return true;
    }

    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
    {
        view.loadUrl(url);

        return true;
    }
}

problem:

when click a tag with target="_blank" (eg, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com" target="_blank">), app native crash. signal 5 (SIGTRAP)

but window.open(url) it runs without any problem.
