title: Access camera functionality in Android webview?
body: <p>I'm building a Native-Android/WebView-App thats code is hosted on a remote server (in HTML and Javascript). </p>
  
  <p>The Web App has a function that launches the phone's camera via a HTML form, input request: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form action="#" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" &gt;
  &lt;input name="image" type="file" accept="image/*" capture/&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This feature works perfectly well in the standard Android web browser but not in the Native App WebView browser. </p>
  
  <p>I have enabled the following permissions in the Native app manifest but still can't get the camera to launch: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /&gt;
  &lt;uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Failing getting this feature to work, I would accept being able to access the camera roll instead so that a user could simply select a photo they have already taken but I would rather launch the camera the way it does in the standard web browser. </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help please? </p>
