Why does Android OS 8 WebVew with HTML select tag crash the app

Question

I\'ve got a hybrid Cordova Android app, and the app crashes when user tap on a drop-down box in my WebView running on Android OS 8. I\'ve created a simple page

Answer 1

I digged into crash logs. Though this answer does not solve your problem, you might get some useful insights

• Webiview uses this layout file select_dialog_singlechoice.xml for inflating Spinner item using ArrayAdaper
• You are getting Resource not found Exception from here
• It means that Your Webview is not able to locate this resource file when you click on select tag

I am not sure why it's happening on Android 8.0,i was not able to reproduce this on Android 8.0 emulator though
