Video access with android AdvancedWebView

Question

Is there a way to give my android app camera access permission with AdvancedWebView?

It is possible with native webview, but the native do not allow file upload through < input type="file" >, so now I have the file upload working, but no camera.

Main code:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements AdvancedWebView.Listener {

private AdvancedWebView mWebView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        mWebView = (AdvancedWebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        mWebView.setListener(this, this);
        mWebView.setGeolocationEnabled(true);
        mWebView.loadUrl(url);
    }
}

The

 mWebView.setGeolocationEnabled(true); 

line gives the location permission just fine, is there something like that for the video?

Manage to make it work! Once you have your camera capture working in webbrowser, to grant the camera permission:

public void iniciaWebView(){

mWebView = (AdvancedWebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.setListener(this, this);
mWebView.setGeolocationEnabled(true);
mWebView.addHttpHeader("X-Requested-With", appNomeLogs);

mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
    @Override
    public void onPermissionRequest(final PermissionRequest request) {
        Log.i(appNomeLogs, "|> onPermissionRequest");

        MainActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
            @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Log.i(appNomeLogs, "|> onPermissionRequest run");
                request.grant(request.getResources());
            }// run
        });// MainActivity

    }// onPermissionRequest
});// setWebChromeClient

mWebView.loadUrl(url);

}// iniciaWebView

Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAPTURE_VIDEO_OUTPUT" />

Only tested in android 5 so far.
