GitHub user vbraun opened a pull request:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/178
Grant Lollipop permission requests
This patch overrides onPermissionRequest so that getUserMedia can be used
inside the browser.
Since a hybrid app has to request permissions anyways via
AndroidManifest.xml, I think it is unnecessary to have any further
configuration for onPermissionRequest. Anything that the app is allowed to do
should be possible from the JS side. Hence all requests are granted. This
enables getUserMedia (and WebRTC) on Android Lollipop, without resorting to
crosswalk.
The docs say that request.grant has to be called from the UI thread, but
don't explicitly spell out whether onPermissionRequest is called from the UI
thread. I think that this is so, the WebChromeClient of course makes its calls
from the UI thread unless otherwise noted. So there is no need to post a
runnable to the UI thread.
