protected class CustomWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient
{
    // For Android 3.0+
    public void openFileChooser( ValueCallback uploadMsg, String acceptType ) 
    {  
        context.mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;  
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);  
        i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);  
        i.setType("image/*");  
        context.startActivityForResult( Intent.createChooser( i, "File Chooser" ), MainActivity.FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE );  
    }

    // For Android < 3.0
    public void openFileChooser( ValueCallback uploadMsg ) 
    {
        openFileChooser( uploadMsg, "" );
    }
}
