How to make WebView open Input File - File Manager (photo selection) for uploading to the site?

Question

Java

I distribute permissions to the application in the manifest for (Internet / Camera and Storage):

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

I mark up the whole application in WebView in Activity Main

<WebView
        android:id="@+id/webview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        />

And the Java CODE itself:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        myWebView.loadUrl("https://dodating.ru");

        WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
        webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

        myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

        myWebView.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#7d41f9"));

        myWebView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);

    }

}

Everything works great, except for the file selection, it just doesn't bring up the file selection menu.
