Camera and photo gallery won't open

[CESTechDev]

When the embedded page has the call to open the file, nothing happens.

The process of requesting permission for the camera and files has already been completed.

Hello,
can you tell me in what platform Android or IOS ?

Same here.

Using Android 13 and opening https://pdf.io/es/doc2pdf/, after I click "select file" nothing happens. Maybe the app needs to requests camera permissions before, or something.

Hi i think i found why can you try again with the latest version?

The previous version was functionning on some Android, now 1.2.19 should work for all

Doing some tests with an Android 10 phone and an Android 14 VM the file chooser still doesn't open. Playing with Github Copilot in the file WebViewDialog.java overriding WebChromeClient with the following code, I managed to open the file chooser on file inputs, but it doesn't put the file in the form.

@Override
public boolean onShowFileChooser(WebView webView, ValueCallback<Uri[]> filePathCallback,
  FileChooserParams fileChooserParams) {
    Intent intent = fileChooserParams.createIntent();
    try {
      activity.startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
      return false;
    }
  return true;
}

In the examples I've found on the internet, everyone uses an Override of onActivityResult to put the file in the form, but It can't be done on a dialog.

I'm not an expert on native Android development, so It's hard for me to find a solution.

I forgot to tell that the problem is when I try to use InAppBrowser.openWebView

Can you provide a reproduction repo that will be easier for me to help on that
