This solution also works for Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich. Seems like Google introduced a cool new feature (accept attribute) and forgot to to implement an overload for backwards compatibility.

So you just need to add a openFileChooser overload to your MyWebChromeClient class that accepts the string parameter and then call the one that does not:

public void openFileChooser( ValueCallback uploadMsg, String acceptType ) 
{  
    this.openFileChooser(uploadMsg);
}

Doing this I was able to make your code run as intended.
