I have a web page that is opening in android webview. The requirement is to launch Camera directly on tapping file chooser.

I have written following code for selecting image:

<input id="files" type="file" name="images[]" multiple accept="image/*" capture="camera"/>

This works fine in chrome browser and opens camera for capturing image. But, when same page is called inside webview, it asks for choose from Camera, Gallery and similar apps.

webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {

        @Override
        public void onPermissionRequest(final PermissionRequest request) {
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
                request.grant(request.getResources());
            }
        }

    });
