Android Question WEBVIEW and CAMERA

[Jozef Kolovratkovic]

I have a huge trouble making camera work in WEBVIEW.

I already done my browser app for face recognition. It works great in all browsers. I tested it on google chrome on my phone, tablet etc and it works great. Each time i get asked to allow camera, i allowed it and then it works correctly. So i only need to make app loading URL into webview with camera allowed. - But there is a problem - APP DO NOT ASK TO ALLOW CAMERA AT ALL. So camera is not showing in WEBVIEW ( but wokrs in google chrome browser on same device )

So i just want replace browser with my fullscreen app with webview using 100% width + 100% of height of screen.

How can i do that? For me there is only problem that app do not ask for allow camera. Application already have persmission for camera granted from app settings.

How can i make WEBVIEW access camera ?

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("hlavne_okno")
    telefon.SetScreenOrientation(0)
    okno.width = Activity.width
    okno.height = Activity.height
    ostan_online.KeepAlive(True)
    WVE.Initialize(okno)
    WVE.LoadUrl("URL OF WHERE APP IS ALREADY RUNNING AND WORKING GOOD IN BROWSERS")
End Sub
