Here is my code. I am using WebView for registration purposes. In the registration process I have to upload an image from the device. I have finished the code for this and it is working properly in every Android version except Marshmallow. I have given all necessary permissions from the manifest.
The code:
public class WebViewActivity extends Activity {
private static final int INPUT_FILE_REQUEST_CODE = 1;
private static final int FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE = 1;
private static final String TAG = WebViewActivity.class.getSimpleName();
private static final int TIME_DELAY = 2000;
private static long back_pressed;
private WebView webView;
private WebSettings webSettings;
private ValueCallback<Uri> mUploadMessage;
private Uri mCapturedImageURI = null;
private ValueCallback<Uri[]> mFilePathCallback;
private String mCameraPhotoPath;
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
if (requestCode != INPUT_FILE_REQUEST_CODE || mFilePathCallback == null) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
return;
}
Uri[] results = null;
// Check that the response is a good one
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (data == null) {
// If there is not data, then we may have taken a photo
if (mCameraPhotoPath != null) {
results = new Uri[]{Uri.parse(mCameraPhotoPath)};
}
} else {
String dataString = data.getDataString();
if (dataString != null) {
results = new Uri[]{Uri.parse(dataString)};
}
}
}
mFilePathCallback.onReceiveValue(results);
mFilePathCallback = null;
} else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
if (requestCode != FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE || mUploadMessage == null) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
return;
}
if (requestCode == FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE) {
if (null == this.mUploadMessage) {
return;
}
Uri result = null;
try {
if (resultCode != RESULT_OK) {
result = null;
} else {
// retrieve from the private variable if the intent is null
result = data == null ? mCapturedImageURI : data.getData();
}
} catch (Exception e) {

The manifest permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
This will allow implementing file uploading in most versions including the marshmellow and its tested too. But doesnt allow uploading multiple files though.
If anyone has a solution for that please do suggest it
