Kotlin solution for Android 8:

private var mUploadMessage: ValueCallback? = null
private var uploadMessage: ValueCallback>? = null

Constants:

const val FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE = 1
const val REQUEST_SELECT_FILE = 100

WebView setup:

webView.webChromeClient = object : WebChromeClient() {
        override fun onPermissionRequest(request: PermissionRequest?) {
            Log.d("MainActivity", "onPermissionRequest")
            requestPermission(request)
        }


        // For Android 3.0+
        fun openFileChooser(uploadMsg: ValueCallback<*>, acceptType: String) {
            mUploadMessage = uploadMsg as ValueCallback
            val i = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
            i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
            i.type = "*/*"
            this@MainActivity.startActivityForResult(
                    Intent.createChooser(i, "File Browser"),
                    FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
        }

        //For Android 4.1
        fun openFileChooser(uploadMsg: ValueCallback, acceptType: String, capture: String) {
            mUploadMessage = uploadMsg
            val i = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
            i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
            i.type = "image/*"
            this@MainActivity.startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(i, "File Chooser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)

        }

        protected fun openFileChooser(uploadMsg: ValueCallback) {
            mUploadMessage = uploadMsg
            val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
            intent.type = "*/*"
            startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "File Chooser"), FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE)
        }

        override fun onShowFileChooser(webView: WebView?, filePathCallback: ValueCallback>?, fileChooserParams: FileChooserParams?): Boolean {
            uploadMessage?.onReceiveValue(null)
            uploadMessage = null

            uploadMessage = filePathCallback

            val intent = fileChooserParams!!.createIntent()
            try {
                startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_SELECT_FILE)
            } catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
                uploadMessage = null
                Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Cannot Open File Chooser", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
                return false
            }

            return true
        }

    }

And the onAcrtivityResult part:

override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
        if (requestCode === REQUEST_SELECT_FILE) {
            if (uploadMessage == null)
                return
            print("result code = " + resultCode)
            var results: Array? = WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams.parseResult(resultCode, data)
            uploadMessage?.onReceiveValue(results)
            uploadMessage = null
        }
    } else if (requestCode === FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE) {
        if (null == mUploadMessage)
            return
        // Use MainActivity.RESULT_OK if you're implementing WebView inside Fragment
        // Use RESULT_OK only if you're implementing WebView inside an Activity
        val result = if (intent == null || resultCode !== RESULT_OK) null else intent.data
        mUploadMessage?.onReceiveValue(result)
        mUploadMessage = null
    } else
        Toast.makeText(applicationContext, "Failed to Upload Image", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}

Please, pay attention that our intent variable called "data".
