Android WebView File Upload

Question

I am developing an Android app. Basically it is a WebView and a progressBar. Facebook's mobile site (m.facebook.com) is loaded into the WebView.

When I click on the Choose File button to upload an image, nothing happens. I have tried ALL of the solutions and none of them work. I am testing on a Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) running 4.0.3. My minimum SDK version is version 8.

Here is my code for more info...

public class IStyla extends Activity {     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;          }     }     private class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {         public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg) {             mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;             Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);             i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);             i.setType("image/*");             IStyla.this.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "Image Browser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);         }              @Override         public boolean onJsAlert(WebView view, String url, String message,final JsResult result) {             //handle Alert event, here we are showing AlertDialog             new AlertDialog.Builder(IStyla.this)                 .setTitle("JavaScript Alert !")                 .setMessage(message)                 .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok,                     new AlertDialog.OnClickListener() {                         public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {                             // do your stuff                             result.confirm();                         }                     }).setCancelable(false).create().show();             return true;         }     }          @Override     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.activity_istyla);         WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);         WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();         webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);         webView.setWebChromeClient(new MyWebChromeClient(){             public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {                 // Activities and WebViews measure progress with different scales.                 // The progress meter will automatically disappear when we reach 100%                 ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);                 if(progress < 100 && progressBar.getVisibility() == ProgressBar.GONE){                     progressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);                 }                 progressBar.setProgress(progress);                 if(progress == 100) {                     progressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);                 }             }             public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg) {                 mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;                 Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);                 i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);                 i.setType("image/*");                 IStyla.this.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "Image Browser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);             }         });         webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {             @Override             public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {                 view.loadUrl(url);                 ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);                 progressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);                 return true;             }                      });         webView.loadUrl("https://m.facebook.com");      }          @Override     public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {         if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK){             if(((WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1)).canGoBack()){                 ((WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1)).goBack();                 return true;             }         }         return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);     }          @Override     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {         getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_istyla, menu);         return true;     }  }

This is how i am using in my app

 private class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {     //The undocumented magic method override     //Eclipse will swear at you if you try to put @Override here       // For Android 3.0+     public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback uploadMsg, String acceptType) {         mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;         Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);         intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);         intent.setType("*/*");         startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "File Browser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);     }      //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("*/*");         startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "File Browser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);     }      protected void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg) {         mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;         Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);         intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);         intent.setType("*/*");         startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "File Chooser"), 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 = null;         if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {             intent = fileChooserParams.createIntent();         }         try {             startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_SELECT_FILE);         } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {             uploadMessage = null;             Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cannot Open File Chooser", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();             return false;         }         return true;     } 

Answer 2

Mike Olivier's reference shared by Fr33dan is important. I am sharing what worked for me under situation quite akin yours.

wv.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()  {  // For Android 3.0+ public void openFileChooser( ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String acceptType ) {   mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;   Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);   i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);   i.setType("image/*");   MainActivity.this.startActivityForResult( Intent.createChooser( i, getString(R.string.fileselect) ), MainActivity.FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE );  }  // For Android < 3.0 public void openFileChooser( ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg ) { openFileChooser( uploadMsg, "" ); }   // For Android > 4.1 public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String acceptType, String capture){ openFileChooser( uploadMsg, "" ); } }); 

NOTE: I found this somewhere in stack overflow and m0s' blog.

Also, Ignore lint warnings. This one works pretty well for API 8 and above.
