julio cesar commented on CB-5294:
---------------------------------

I've been looking into this as it affects to my current project and it seems it doesn't have an easy fix as this is a webview problem, not just phonegap.

It seems to me that the new webview ignores the setWebChromeClient parameter, or at least the openFileChooser function.

I've opended a stackoverflow thread asking about the input file on android 4.4 webview and started a bounty: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19882331/html-file-input-in-android-webview-android-4-4-kitkat
If I get some answers I'll fix it on cordova too.

> The file input field doesn't respond when clicked/tapped in Android 4.4. Works fine in previous Android versions. This is regardless of whether the Target Level is set to 18 or 19.
> To reproduce, I created a fresh Cordova 3.1.0 project for Android. The only modification I made to the default (placeholder) index.html file was adding a <form> element with a single <input type="file"> element inside. Clicking the "Choose File" button does nothing. No Logcat output or errors. Normally at this point a dialogue would open allowing me to select an image from the gallery or take a picture, which is what happens in older Android versions.
