Unable to upload file using Android WebView

Question

I am currently working on a project in Android Studio together with a classmate. We are struggling to effectively upload files (more specifically images). We use the webview property for this project. We used countless resources, both from stackoverflow and outside sources but haven't found a solution as of yet.

We are running this app on a OnePlus 6T using Android Pie(9.0).

MainActivity.java:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    public WebView webView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


        webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
        WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
        ((WebSettings) webSettings).setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.loadUrl("our website here");
        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        if (webView.canGoBack()) {
            webView.goBack();
        } else {
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }
}

AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="nl.fps.cardtool">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>


    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Answer 1

Set enabled to load images.

Use this code

webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.getSettings().setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
webView.loadUrl("our website here");

Answer 2

Closing thread due to inability to figure out an effective solution.

I know I can't technically close a thread but I figured a notice might be nice.
