Apps [WebView] Uploading pictures from camera and gallery in Android application, need help

Hello, I'm building a webview application. There is a feature of uploading images through the form on the site. What I am trying to do is: When File input is clicked, the user is asked the option "Select from camera or gallery". I did this. Image can be uploaded from the gallery. But after taking a picture with the camera, the input remains blank. The picture disappears. It works fine on Android 5 version, but I have this problem on versions such as Android 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. I think the reason why it doesn't work on Android 10 is the removal of getExternalStoragePublicDirectory support. But it doesn't work on Android 6-7-8-9 version either. I'm a just back-end web developer. I'm not good at mobile programming. I would appreciate it if you can send source code or project. Please help me. Thank you!
