Android Question Issue with WebView: Image Upload, Camera Access, and WhatsApp Integration

[Adamdam]

Dear All,

Greetings,

I have created a PHP page that allows users to send messages and upload images to the server. The page works correctly when accessed through a browser (both localhost and remote servers).

However, when loading the same page inside a WebView, most functionalities stop working—specifically:

• Image upload does not work
• Camera access is not triggered
• WhatsApp sharing does not work (this part was resolved by handling it directly in the B4A app instead of WebView)

Could you please advise?

• Is there a newer version of WebView that resolves these limitations?
• Or are there specific configurations/permissions required to enable file upload and camera access inside WebView?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
