AndroidDriver file upload not working from WebDriver WebView.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the android server apk to open the URL for a page that has a file input element.

self.browser = webdriver.Remote("http://localhost:8080/wd/hub", webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.ANDROID)
self.browser.get("http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/file.html")

2. Manually click on the file input element in the WebView on the device. In the case
above this is the "Choose file" button. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'd expect a File chooser dialog to come up. That's what happens in the Android browser
when I click on a file input element. 

Selenium version: android-server-2.21.0.apk
OS: Android 4.1.1
Browser: Android WebView

It seems like there is some additional work to get file uploads to work in a WebView.
Here is a link to a post that discusses this.

Selenium project no longer supports the AndroidDriver.

Please use Selendroid instead:
http://selendroid.io/webview.html

And log any issues against that project:
