Accessing the camera or location in a WebView is not possible without granting the WebView permission. Make sure your app has permissions already through the conventional method before calling this snippet:
WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
// Need to accept permissions to use the camera and audio
@Override
public void onPermissionRequest(final PermissionRequest request) {
Log.d(TAG, "onPermissionRequest");
getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
@Override
public void run() {
// Make sure the request is coming from our file
// Warning: This check may fail for local files
// Remove this check if your webpage is from a different
// source
if (request.getOrigin().toString().equals(ASSET_FILE)) {
request.grant(request.getResources());
} else {
request.deny();
}
}
});
}
});
