Android 5.0 select tag empty in webview

I m trying to show a simple select tag in a webview

<select >
   <option value = "1" selected>Value 1</option>
   <option value="2">Value 2</option>
    <option value="3">Value 3</option>
</select>

MainActivity.java : 

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView); 

    ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressbar);

    //WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
    //webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

    // A activer pour surcharger la méthode onJsAlert
    //webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

    //webView.setWebViewClient(new MegViewClient(this, progressBar));

    // Récupération d'un instance sauvegardée
    if (savedInstanceState != null)
        webView.restoreState(savedInstanceState);
    else {
        webView.loadUrl("http://myUrl");
    }   

  if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
      WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
  }
}

AndroidManifest.xml

 <uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

I tried with both webViewClient and with webchromeClient but I got the same result :

the select is visible but the list of option is empty.

if I try on a tablet with android 4.4, the select is wellformed.

I had the same problem. My workaround is to use this jquery tool (select2) to replace all selects. 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/3.5.2/select2.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://cdn.jsdelivr.net/select2/3.5.2/select2.min.js"></script>

<select >
   <option value = "1" selected>Value 1</option>
   <option value="2">Value 2</option>
    <option value="3">Value 3</option>
</select>

<script>
// replace all select inputs with select2
$("select").select2();

// remove the search tool inside select2
$(".select2-search, .select2-focusser").remove(); 
</script>
