File chooser not working on versions 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 #37

Having this html:

input type="submit" value="upload file"

The button does not open the Filechooser. Is there any work around this problem?

Thanks!

This has been discussed quite a few times already, see https://github.com/delight-im/Android-AdvancedWebView/issues/4

Unfortunately, there is no workaround as this is a bug in the Android OS itself. Sorry!

The only solution is waiting for users to upgrade to 5.0, 5.1, 6.0 etc.

Maybe you guys can try to implement the solution provided in the link below, thanks. https://github.com/henrychuangtw/Kitkat-WebView

@wadleo That's not really a solution. It requires you to change the server-side code as well. You can just add this to your app even if you're using this library.
