I am using the following code to check if camera & storage permissions have been granted when user clicks on input-file field on my website in android webview:
public boolean file_permission(){
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >=23 && (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED || ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, 1);
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
// Handling onshow file chooser
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public boolean onShowFileChooser(WebView webView, ValueCallback<Uri[]> filePathCallback, FileChooserParams fileChooserParams) {
if(file_permission() && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
file_path = filePathCallback;
Intent takePictureIntent = null;
takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(MainActivity.this.getPackageManager()) != null) {
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = create_image();
takePictureIntent.putExtra("PhotoPath", cam_file_data);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e(TAG, "Image file creation failed", ex);
}
if (photoFile != null) {
cam_file_data = "file:" + photoFile.getAbsolutePath();
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photoFile));
} else {
cam_file_data = null;
takePictureIntent = null;
}
}
Intent contentSelectionIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
contentSelectionIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
contentSelectionIntent.setType(file_type);
Intent[] intentArray;
intentArray = new Intent[]{takePictureIntent};
Intent chooserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CHOOSER);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, contentSelectionIntent);
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Select Photo for yourPrint");
chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, intentArray);
startActivityForResult(chooserIntent, file_req_code);
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
When the permission is checked via file_permission(), the accept permission dialog appears. But once the user accepts the permission, the input-file field needs to be clicked again by the user to show the file chooser. I want the input-field that originally triggered the onShowFileChooser to be clicked again automatically after user accepts the permissions, so that file chooser opens automatically.
I have tried using onRequestPermissionsResult with javascript to trigger click on input field after permissions acceptance using this code javascript:jQuery('.file-input-field').trigger('click'), However, I do not want to use this way as chrome blocks programmatic clicks on input fields with type file for security purposes.
How to accomplish this?
