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   lt uses-permission android name  android permission INTERNET   gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission READ EXTERNAL STORAGE   gt   lt application android label  TestApp  gt    lt activity android name   BrowseActivity  gt  lt  activity gt   lt  application gt    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 lt Uri gt  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 lt Uri gt  uploadMsg  String acceptType  String capture           mUploadMessage

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

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
