Description

CB-2086 always opens a generic File Picker, regardless of the values passed in for the mimetypes in the accept attribute, or the source attribute. The Android Browser correctly examines these attributes and starts up an activity with either: a camera intent, a camera/image intent, a camcorder intent, a sound recorder intent, or a sound recorder/audio intent.

I'm not sure what cross-pollination is allowed between the Android codebase and Cordova's, but it appears that packages/apps/Browser/src/com/android/browser/UploadHandler.java from the Android source tree contains exactly what we need to accomplish the same.
