I’m just following along the thread from this closed issue and it seems to me there are a couple of solutions that may work for you.
First is from this comment by Anthony Dunk :
Adding the class “needsclick” to the select fixed this issue for me on Android.
Second that I found is this from rbravo
I fixed it on my project by detecting when any select element was clicked on the page inside the webview (by injecting some js and using postMessage) then resized the webview by 1px (and back to original size again) in a 1ms timeout. This triggered the render method and the native select menu got on top of the webview (since the whole problem was the native menu opening behind the webview and not showing up).
It worked for me!
But then again, some claim that any of the solutions shared din’t work for them.
The issue was passed to MIGRATED: html select element not working in WebView on android tablets (#12070) #6, and still got closed without a proper solution. This was referenced to The android is Flash back when i use webview in scrollview #477 which also got Closed from being inactive for more than 2 months.
There may be no proper solution for this currently but do let us know if any of them worked for you.
