This issue occur in only Android Lollipop devices( tested in nexus 4 and nexus 7 devices) other devices display correctly.

HTML code is:

<select id="selectlanguage" onchange="selectLangauge();">
    <option value="english">English</option>
    <option value="hindi">Hindi</option>
</select>

Answer 1

This is a known problem with Android WebView on Lollipop.

One way to work around this is by generating a DIV that displays the list, essentially replacing the OPTIONs.
