Description

Android L includes a supported callback for showing the file chooser:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebChromeClient.html#onShowFileChooser(android.webkit.WebView, android.webkit.ValueCallback<android.net.Uri[]>, android.webkit.WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams)

There's a good example implementation here:
