I created an android webview for my website all was going fine only for me to notice that filechooser was not opening in android versions less than 5.0... After struggling for days, and trying so many things like solutions to SO questions 28600165 and 23568792 many other bunch of stuff online... nothing worked out(I bet you all of them are a waste of time). I later found it's a bug in older android versions and there's no real workaround like in this github issue No workaround for filechooser bug for 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 ... But I am able to upload files on all android versions using FireFox for android even Chrome... How come the HTML input type file works with FireFox webviews despite the bug in these particular versions of android... Is it possible for me to power my webviews with FireFox code since it's opensource if yes how easy is that and how effective will it be.... I will also appreciate guidelines on how to go about this, with an example if possible . thanks in advance.
