HTML Select dropdowns are not working in android webview

The Browser useragent version:

"Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8C148 Safari/6533.18.5"

The basic HTML Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Test Pages</title>
        <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
        <meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no">
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
        <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, width=device-width">
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            <select>
                <option>One</option>
                <option>two</option>
                <option>three</option>
                <option>four</option>
                <option>five</option>
            </select>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

This seems to be working on UIWebView(iPhone) and the native browsers. Only android webView is having the issue.Any help will be appreciated.The webview is a cordova activity
