This is code for open camera and sound recorder by webview for all Android versions

    WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.activity_main_webview);
    WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    mWebView.loadUrl("http://example.com");
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webSettings.setSupportZoom(false);
    webSettings.setAllowFileAccess(true);
    webSettings.setAllowContentAccess(true);
    webSettings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
    mWebView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
    mWebView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
    mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    mWebView.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);


    mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()
    {
        // For 3.0+ Devices (Start)
        // onActivityResult attached before constructor
        protected void openFileChooser(ValueCallback uploadMsg, String acceptType)
        {
            // Update message
            // Update message
            mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;

            try{

            // Create AndroidExampleFolder at sdcard

            File imageStorageDir = new File(
                    Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
                    Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)
                    , "AndroidExampleFolder");

            if (!imageStorageDir.exists()) {
                // Create AndroidExampleFolder at sdcard
                imageStorageDir.mkdirs();
                }

            // Create camera captured image file path and name 
            File file = new File(
