Access Camera Functionality In Android Webview?

I'm building a Native-Android/WebView-App thats code is hosted on a remote server (in HTML and Javascript). The Web App has a function that launches the phone's camera via a HTML

Solution 1:

While accessing Camera from Webview, it asks for permissions and we can grant them by overriding the onPermissionRequest. Also make sure to take care of runtime permissions.

webView.setWebChromeClient(newWebChromeClient() {
        @OverridepublicvoidonPermissionRequest(PermissionRequest request) {
            request.grant(request.getResources());
        }
    });

Also, make sure this property is disabled

webSettings.setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserGesture(false);

Solution 2:

Use Javascript interface to launch camera.

Or

You can use cordova Framework.
