WebView by default doesn't open file chooser. However it is possible to make this work. WebChromeClient has hidden method openFileBrowser, which needs to be overridden to pop up a file chooser and then return the result to WebView

But I would think that you could modify things such that an onClick event on the would call into Java code that you inject via [addJavascriptInterface()][1], at which point you can bring up whatever sort of "file explorer" you want.
