Though it has been a long time since asked, I will try to give a more comprehensive answer than what I found around the web.

Possible solution for you is: File Upload in WebView

However, I found this article useful as well: File upload in through WebView on Android

The problem is caused by an undocumented magic method onFileChooser that is not available as an @override, but works fine once you add it.

For others surfing here PLEASE BE AWARE that the undocumented function openFileChooser is now not currently available in Android 4.4+ (KitKat) !!!

Google Engineer:"unfortunately, openFileChooser is not a public API. We are working on a public API in future releases of Android."

See https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62220 for more info and much gnashing of teeth...
