File Upload in WebView

I have been struggling to upload files from WebView since last few
days and there is no progress. I googled and implemented all suggested
solutions but none works, like: solutions suggested here,
and so on.

Problem: I have a HTML page with the following code to upload a file.
It works fine in a desktop browser like Firefox and built-in browser
of emulator / AVD i.e., when I click “Browse…” button rendered by
element, browser opens a Dialog
box where I can choose a file to upload.

However, in the android 3.0 emulator / AVD, when I click on “Choose
file”, nothing happens, no file dialog is opened!!!

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
File to upload: <input type="file" name="uploadfile">&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type="submit" value="Press to Upload..."> to upload the file!
</form>

Could anyone please suggest a possible solution at the earliest.
