File Upload Not working in Android 4.4.2

I have created an app using phonegap. The app works fine on all android versions. But the file upload feature on this app does not work on Android 4.4.2. I have googled a lot on this issue, and all I have found is that Google has disabled this feature for Android 4.4.2.

Is there no work around at all? I am really in need of a solution to this problem. It would be great help if someone can suggest a solution to this issue.

There's no chance to get file uploads working in a WebView on Android 4.4.2.

Nevertheless, the onclick or onchange events are still fired on the <input type="html"> element.

This means you can either get the file there via JavaScript or call a Java method from those event handlers and do the file upload manually.

For Cordova, there's an issue here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5294

... and a workaround here:
