this is the only solution that i found that works!

WebView webview;

private ValueCallback<Uri> mUploadMessage;
private final static int FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE = 1;

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
    Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE) {
    if (null == mUploadMessage)
        return;
    Uri result = intent == null || resultCode != RESULT_OK ? null
            : intent.getData();
    mUploadMessage.onReceiveValue(result);
    mUploadMessage = null;

   }
}

// Next part

class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
// The undocumented magic method override
// Eclipse will swear at you if you try to put @Override here
public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg) {

    mUploadMessage = uploadMsg;
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
    i.setType("image/*");
    Cv5appActivity.this.startActivityForResult(
            Intent.createChooser(i, "Image Browser"),
            FILECHOOSER_RESULTCODE);
   }
 }
