The application does not have sufficient geolocation permissions

I thought this would be a simple solution but a day later I'm still unable to solve it.
Im creating a hybrid webview app and my site has a button that gets the users current location. This is working in chrome browser fine but in webview I get the following error:
E/cr_LocationProvider: Caught security exception while registering for location updates from the system. The application does not have sufficient geolocation permissions.
I've added permissions to the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>
In the MainActivity.java I have:

Multiple file upload in Android Webview

Please, How can I enable or something else my Android Webview to upload multiple files?
When I upload only a file works very well, but I can't select more than one file to upload at the same time.
Is it possible? I think yes, but don't know how =/.

Take a look of my code to upload multiple image , it will give you nice idea for other type of file also.
For selecting multiple image from gallery
i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE,true);
An Ultimate Solution for multiple image upload with camera option also for Android Lollipop to Android 10, SDK 30.

File Upload in WebView (4.4.2)android

I have read this article below,but the progress bar and upload file don't work for android(4.4.2)
this aritcle seems not update so I post another Question,hope someone know how to solve it.
thanks
File Upload in WebView
I tried another method of the code below and
it can upload file well but the url bar will appear on the top ,same as I using browser.
So I added WebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
in order to hide url bar then the file upload button not working.
public class WebActivity extends Activity {
WebView mWebView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
final Activity mActivity = this;
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Adds Progrss bar Support
this.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// Makes Progress bar Visible
getWindow().setFeatureInt( Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS, Window.PROGRESS_VISIBILITY_ON);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById( R.id.webview );
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl(http://your.url.com);
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()
{
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress)
{
//Make the bar disappear after URL is loaded, and changes string to Loading...
mActivity .setTitle("Loading...");
mActivity .setProgress(progress * 100); //Make the bar disappear after URL is loaded
// Return the app name after finish loading
if(progress == 100)
{
financialPortalActivity.setTitle(R.string.yourWebSiteName);
}
}
});
}
}

here is a full solution for all android versions, I had a hard time with this too.

and this my layout Main.xml:

tnx!!! :)

You can use your layout as follows:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressDialog"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
Now in your code
ProgressDialog progressDialog = (ProgressDialog)findViewById(R.id.progressDialog);
progressDialog.setTitle("Loading");
progressDialog.setMessage("Your Message");
progressDialog.show();
once loading your webview contents are done or your expected action is done,
progressDialog.dismiss();
If you want horizontal Progress Dialog
progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
if you know progress
progressDialog.setProgress(0);
progressDialog.setMax(100);
and Set Progress in your thread. If you don't Know progress,
progressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);

Initialize progressbar like this:
ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressDialog);
This is wrong casting:
ProgressDialog progressDialog = (ProgressDialog)findViewById(R.id.progressDialog);

Using this code you can show progressdialog to webview and dismiss dialog when web view page loading is finished
public class Activity extends ActionBarActivity {
WebView myBrowser;
ProgressDialog progress;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_mapwebview);
myBrowser = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.mybrowser);
myBrowser.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
progress = ProgressDialog.show(Activity.this, "Please Wait", "Refreshing");
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
if (progress.isShowing()) {
progress.dismiss();
}
}
});
//load saved file
Log.e("PAth", getFilesDir().toString());
myBrowser.loadUrl("file:///"+getFilesDir()+"/MySampleFile.html");
myBrowser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myBrowser.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
}
}

Use sample code below:
WebView view= new WebView(getApplicationContext());
view.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
ProgressDialog dialog= new ProgressDialog(getApplicationContext());
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url,
Bitmap favicon) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
dialog.setMessage("Loading please wait");
dialog.show();
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
dialog.dismiss();
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
}
});
If by chance app get crashed then use "MainActivity.this" at place of getapplicationContext.
Hope this will solve your problem.
I am using your code below to show dialog:
private void initWebView(WebView view, String url) {
WebSettings settings = view.getSettings();
// WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
view.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
settings.setAllowFileAccess(true);
settings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
settings.setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
settings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
settings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
settings.setSupportZoom(true);
// settings.setPluginsEnabled(true);
methodInvoke(settings, "setPluginsEnabled", new Class[] { boolean.class }, new Object[] { true });
// settings.setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
methodInvoke(settings, "setPluginState", new Class[] { PluginState.class }, new Object[] { PluginState.ON });
// settings.setPluginsEnabled(true);
methodInvoke(settings, "setPluginsEnabled", new Class[] { boolean.class }, new Object[] { true });
// settings.setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true);
methodInvoke(settings, "setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs", new Class[] { boolean.class }, new Object[] { true });
// settings.setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(true);
methodInvoke(settings, "setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs", new Class[] { boolean.class }, new Object[] { true });
view.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
view.clearHistory();
view.clearFormData();
view.clearCache(true);
view.loadUrl(url);
view.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
ProgressDialog dialog= new ProgressDialog(getApplicationContext());
// suppose Imageview and Webview has visibility gone by default then
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url,
Bitmap favicon) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//dialog.setMessage("Loading please wait");
//dialog.show();
Imageview.setvisivility(View.VISIBLE);
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//dialog.dismiss();
imageview.setvisibility(View.GONE);
view.setvisibility(View.VISIBLE);
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
}
});
view.setWebChromeClient(new MyWebChromeClient());
// webView.setDownloadListener(downloadListener);
}
now your Onceate Method;

WebView v= (Webview)findviewbyId(R.id.webviewid);

android webview file upload not working [duplicate]

I have been struggling to upload files from WebView. I googled and implemented all suggested solutions (e.g. this SO post), but none work.
I have an HTML page with the following code to upload a file.
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
File to upload: <input type="file" name="uploadfile">
<input type="submit" value="Press to Upload..."> to upload the file!
</form>
It works fine in a desktop browser like Firefox and built-in browser
of emulator / AVD i.e., when I click "Browse..." button rendered by
element, browser opens a Dialog
box where I can choose a file to upload.
However, in the android 3.0 emulator / AVD, when I click on "Choose
file", nothing happens, no file dialog is opened!

This is a full solution for all android versions, I had a hard time with this too.
public class MyWb extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
WebView web;
ProgressBar progressBar;
private ValueCallback<Uri> mUploadMessage;
private final static int FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE=1;
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent intent) {
if(requestCode==FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
{
if (null == mUploadMessage) return;
Uri result = intent == null || resultCode != RESULT_OK ? null
: intent.getData();
mUploadMessage.onReceiveValue(result);
mUploadMessage = null;
}
}
#Override

MyWb.this.startActivityForResult( Intent.createChooser( i, "File Chooser" ), MyWb.FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE );
}
});
setContentView(web);
}
public class myWebClient extends WebViewClient
{
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
//flipscreen not loading again
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig){
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
// To handle "Back" key press event for WebView to go back to previous screen.
/*#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && web.canGoBack()) {
web.goBack();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}*/
}
Also I want to add that the "upload page" like the one in this example, wont work on < 4 versions, since it has an image preview feature, if you want to make it work use a simple php upload without preview.
Update:
Please find the solution for lollipop devices here and thanks for gauntface
Update 2:
Complete solution for all android devices till oreo here and this is more advanced version, you should look into it, maybe it can help.

Working Method from HONEYCOMB (API 11) to Android 11
As updated by swati vishnoi, this works on Pie and above too
static WebView mWebView;
private ValueCallback<Uri> mUploadMessage;
public ValueCallback<Uri[]> uploadMessage;
public static final int REQUEST_SELECT_FILE = 100;
private final static int FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE = 1;
Modified onActivityResult()
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)
{
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
{
if (requestCode == REQUEST_SELECT_FILE)
{
if (uploadMessage == null)
return;
uploadMessage.onReceiveValue(WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams.parseResult(resultCode, intent));
uploadMessage = null;
}
}
else if (requestCode == FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
{
if (null == mUploadMessage)
return;
// Use MainActivity.RESULT_OK if you're implementing WebView inside Fragment
// Use RESULT_OK only if you're implementing WebView inside an Activity
Uri result = intent == null || resultCode != MainActivity.RESULT_OK ? null : intent.getData();
mUploadMessage.onReceiveValue(result);
mUploadMessage = null;
}
else
Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), "Failed to Upload Image", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
Now in onCreate() or onCreateView() paste the following code
WebSettings mWebSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
mWebSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebSettings.setSupportZoom(false);
mWebSettings.setAllowFileAccess(true);
mWebSettings.setAllowContentAccess(true);
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()
{
// For 3.0+ Devices (Start)
// onActivityResult attached before constructor
protected void openFileChooser(ValueCallback uploadMsg, String acceptType)
{
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Browser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
// For Lollipop 5.0+ Devices
public boolean onShowFileChooser(WebView mWebView, ValueCallback<Uri[]> filePathCallback, WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams fileChooserParams)
{
if (uploadMessage != null) {
uploadMessage.onReceiveValue(null);
uploadMessage = null;
}
uploadMessage = filePathCallback;
Intent intent = fileChooserParams.createIntent();
try
{
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_SELECT_FILE);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e)
{
uploadMessage = null;
Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), "Cannot Open File Chooser", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return false;
}
return true;
}
//For Android 4.1 only
protected void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String acceptType, String capture)
{
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
intent.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "File Browser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
protected void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg)
{
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("image/*");
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Chooser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
});

this is the only solution that i found that works!
WebView webview;
private ValueCallback<Uri> mUploadMessage;
private final static int FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE = 1;
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE) {
if (null == mUploadMessage)
return;
Uri result = intent == null || resultCode != RESULT_OK ? null
: intent.getData();
mUploadMessage.onReceiveValue(result);
mUploadMessage = null;
}
}
// Next part
class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
// The undocumented magic method override
// Eclipse will swear at you if you try to put #Override here
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg) {
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("image/*");
Cv5appActivity.this.startActivityForResult(
Intent.createChooser(i, "Image Browser"),
FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
}

In 5.0 Lollipop, Google added an official method, WebChromeClient.onShowFileChooser. They even provide a way to automatically generate the file chooser intent so that it uses the input accept mime types.
public class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
// reference to activity instance. May be unnecessary if your web chrome client is member class.
private MyActivity activity;
public boolean onShowFileChooser(WebView webView, ValueCallback<Uri[]> filePathCallback, FileChooserParams fileChooserParams) {
// make sure there is no existing message
if (myActivity.uploadMessage != null) {
myActivity.uploadMessage.onReceiveValue(null);
myActivity.uploadMessage = null;
}
myActivity.uploadMessage = filePathCallback;
Intent intent = fileChooserParams.createIntent();
try {
myActivity.startActivityForResult(intent, MyActivity.REQUEST_SELECT_FILE);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
myActivity.uploadMessage = null;
Toast.makeText(myActivity, "Cannot open file chooser", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
public class MyActivity extends ... {
public static final int REQUEST_SELECT_FILE = 100;
public ValueCallback<Uri[]> uploadMessage;
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
if (requestCode == REQUEST_SELECT_FILE) {
if (uploadMessage == null) return;
uploadMessage.onReceiveValue(WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams.parseResult(resultCode, data));
uploadMessage = null;
}
}
}
}
For Android versions before KitKat, the private methods mentioned in the other answers work. I have not found a good workaround for KitKat (4.4).

I found that I needed 3 interface definitions in order to handle various version of android.
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback < Uri > uploadMsg) {
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("image/*");
FreeHealthTrack.this.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "Image Chooser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback < Uri > uploadMsg, String acceptType) {
openFileChooser(uploadMsg);
}
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback < Uri > uploadMsg, String acceptType, String capture) {
openFileChooser(uploadMsg);
}

This solution also works for Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich. Seems like Google introduced a cool new feature (accept attribute) and forgot to to implement an overload for backwards compatibility.
protected class CustomWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient
{
// For Android 3.0+
public void openFileChooser( ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String acceptType )
{
context.mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("image/*");
context.startActivityForResult( Intent.createChooser( i, "File Chooser" ), MainActivity.FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE );
}
// For Android < 3.0
public void openFileChooser( ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg )
{
openFileChooser( uploadMsg, "" );
}
}

hifarrer's full solution is very helpful to me.
but, I met many other problems - supporting other mime type, listing capture devices(camera, video, audio recoder), opening capture device immediately(ex: <input accept="image/*;capture"> )...
So, I made a solution that works exactly same as default web browser app.
I used android-4.4.3_r1/src/com/android/browser/UploadHandler.java. (thanks to Rupert Rawnsley )

UPDATE #1 (2015.09.09)
adds code for Android 5.0.1 compatability.

Kotlin solution for Android 8:
private var mUploadMessage: ValueCallback<Uri>? = null
private var uploadMessage: ValueCallback<Array<Uri>>? = null
Constants:
const val FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE = 1
const val REQUEST_SELECT_FILE = 100
WebView setup:
webView.webChromeClient = object : WebChromeClient() {
override fun onPermissionRequest(request: PermissionRequest?) {
Log.d("MainActivity", "onPermissionRequest")
requestPermission(request)
}
// For Android 3.0+
fun openFileChooser(uploadMsg: ValueCallback<*>, acceptType: String) {
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg as ValueCallback<Uri>
val i = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
i.type = "*/*"
this#MainActivity.startActivityForResult(
Intent.createChooser(i, "File Browser"),
FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
}
//For Android 4.1
fun openFileChooser(uploadMsg: ValueCallback<Uri>, acceptType: String, capture: String) {
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg
val i = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
i.type = "image/*"
this#MainActivity.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Chooser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
}
protected fun openFileChooser(uploadMsg: ValueCallback<Uri>) {
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
intent.type = "*/*"
startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "File Chooser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
}
override fun onShowFileChooser(webView: WebView?, filePathCallback: ValueCallback<Array<Uri>>?, fileChooserParams: FileChooserParams?): Boolean {
uploadMessage?.onReceiveValue(null)
uploadMessage = null
uploadMessage = filePathCallback
val intent = fileChooserParams!!.createIntent()
try {
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_SELECT_FILE)
} catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
uploadMessage = null
Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Cannot Open File Chooser", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
return false
}
return true
}
}
And the onAcrtivityResult part:
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
if (requestCode === REQUEST_SELECT_FILE) {
if (uploadMessage == null)
return
print("result code = " + resultCode)
var results: Array<Uri>? = WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams.parseResult(resultCode, data)
uploadMessage?.onReceiveValue(results)
uploadMessage = null
}
} else if (requestCode === FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE) {
if (null == mUploadMessage)
return
// Use MainActivity.RESULT_OK if you're implementing WebView inside Fragment
// Use RESULT_OK only if you're implementing WebView inside an Activity
val result = if (intent == null || resultCode !== RESULT_OK) null else intent.data
mUploadMessage?.onReceiveValue(result)
mUploadMessage = null
} else
Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Failed to Upload Image", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
Please, pay attention that our intent variable called "data".

This is work for me. Also work for Nougat and Marshmallow[[

I found it necessary to define public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String acceptType, String capture), in Android 4.1. Then I followed Michel Olivier's solution.

Hope can help you.

Ive actually managed to get the file picker to appear in Kitkat, to select a image and to get the filepath in activity result but the only thing that im not able to "fix" (cause this workaround) is to make the input filed to fill out with file data.
Does anyone know any way how to access the input-field from a activity ? Am using this example comment. Is just this last piece, the last brick in the wall that i just have to put into right place (tho i could trigger upload of image file directly from code.
UPDATE #1
Im no hardcore Android dev so i'll show code on newbie level. Im creating a new Activity in already existing Activity
Manifest part
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<application android:label="TestApp">
<activity android:name=".BrowseActivity"></activity>
</application>
Am creating my BrowseActivity class from this example answer. The WebChromeClient() instance basically looks the same, except last piece, triggering the picker UI part...
private final static int FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE=1;
private final static int KITKAT_RESULTCODE = 2;
...
// The new WebChromeClient() looks pretty much the same, except one piece...
WebChromeClient chromeClient = new WebChromeClient(){
// For Android 3.0+
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg) { /* Default code */ }
// For Android 3.0+
public void openFileChooser( ValueCallback uploadMsg, String acceptType ) { /* Default code */ }
//For Android 4.1, also default but it'll be as example
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String acceptType, String capture){
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("*/*");
BrowseActivity.this.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Chooser"), BrowseActivity.FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
}
// The new code
public void showPicker( ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg ){
// Here is part of the issue, the uploadMsg is null since it is not triggered from Android
mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
i.setType("*/*");
BrowseActivity.this.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Chooser"), BrowseActivity.KITKAT_RESULTCODE);

Lastly, the HTML page needs to trigger that new method of showPicker (specificaly when on A4.4)
<form id="form-upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input id="fileupload" name="fileupload" type="file" onclick="javascript:prepareForPicker();"/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getAndroidVersion() {
var ua = navigator.userAgent;
var match = ua.match(/Android\s([0-9\.]*)/);
return match ? match[1] : false;
};
function prepareForPicker(){
if(getAndroidVersion().indexOf("4.4") != -1){
window.jsi.showPicker();
return false;
}
}
function CheckImage(name)
{
//Check to see if user wants to save I used some ajax to save the file if necesarry
}
</script>

Google's own browser offers such a comprehensive solution to this problem that it warrants it's own class:
openFileChooser implementation in Android 4.0.4
UploadHandler class in Android 4.0.4

Found a SOLUTION which works for me! Add one more rule in the file proguard-android.txt:
-keepclassmembers class * extends android.webkit.WebChromeClient {
public void openFileChooser(...);
}

In KitKat you can use the Storage Access Framework.
Storage Access Framework / Writing a Client App

Solution: https://github.com/delight-im/Android-AdvancedWebView
Solution for Fragent:
The difference between activity and fragment is only in onActivityResult:
Fragment:
lateinit var webViewGlobal: AdvancedWebView private set
class WebViewFragment : Fragment(), AdvancedWebView.Listener {
private lateinit var binding: FragmentWebViewBinding
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
binding = FragmentWebViewBinding.inflate(inflater)
webViewGlobal = binding.webWiew
return binding.root
}
}
Activity:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
webViewGlobal.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
}
}
Android 11:
<application
...
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
...
/>
Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

I'm new to Andriod and struggled with this also. According to Google Reference Guide WebView.
By default, a WebView provides no browser-like widgets, does not
enable JavaScript and web page errors are ignored. If your goal is
only to display some HTML as a part of your UI, this is probably fine;
the user won't need to interact with the web page beyond reading it,
and the web page won't need to interact with the user. If you actually
want a full-blown web browser, then you probably want to invoke the
Browser application with a URL Intent rather than show it with a
WebView.
Example code I executed in MainActvity.java.
Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://www.example.com");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
Excuted
package example.com.myapp;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.example.com/");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
getSupportActionBar().hide();
}}

I researched on this issue for almost one month. Everything failed. All codes seen in multiple websites does n't work good. But here exists the best solution
https://github.com/chiclaim/android-webview-upload-file
Steps
1) Click on clone or download
2) Get the zip fle in your local directory
3) unzip the zip file
4) Open Android studio
5) Goto File ----> Open ---> Navigate to directory where you unzipped the contents.
6) Change the required web url in webView.loadUrl("your url hre"); in MainActivity.java
7) Works good with version Android studio 3.4.2

filePathCallback: ValueCallback<Array<Uri>>?,
fileChooserParams: FileChooserParams?

return (super.onShowFileChooser(webView, filePathCallback, fileChooserParams))
}
openFileCallback = filePathCallback
val webViewFragment = fragmentWeakReference.get() ?: return false
webViewFragment.launchGetMultipleContents("*/*")
return true
}
fun receiveFileCallback(result: Array<Uri>) {
openFileCallback?.onReceiveValue(result)
openFileCallback = null
}
}
WebViewFragment:
class WebViewFragment : Fragment() {
private var _binding: FragmentWebviewBinding? = null
private val binding get() = _binding!!
private lateinit var webView: WebView
private val chromeClient = AppChromeClient(WeakReference(this))
private var contentLauncher: ActivityResultLauncher<String> = getMultipleContentLauncher()
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater,
container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View {
_binding = FragmentWebviewBinding.inflate(inflater, container, false)
webView.webChromeClient = chromeClient
val url = requireContext().getString(R.string.app_domain)
webView.setting.javaScriptEnabled = true
webView.loadUrl(url)
return binding.root
}
private fun getMultipleContentLauncher(): ActivityResultLauncher<String> {
return this.registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.GetMultipleContents()) { list ->
if (list.isEmpty()) {
showToast("No files selected")
}
chromeClient.receiveFileCallback(list.toTypedArray())
}
}
fun launchGetMultipleContents(type: String) {
contentLauncher.launch(type)
}
}
