html5 - Select drop down in Android Webview version 50.+ not functional -


we're facing new , peculiar problem when using simple select drop down in hybrid app in android webview after latest update (50.0.+).

behavior of select drop down: blinks twice , opens android options list. upon selecting item, doesn't show item selected - no change in displayed list.

when downgrade android system webview factory settings (v46 or v37), select box seems work fine.

is else having issues similar html components , current android webview??

we use jquery mobile v 1.4.5 in our app. , yes, javascript enabled on webview.

yes, problem different devices have diffenent android versions , webview versions.

there problem on webview version 50,51,52, when use webview.loadurl, won't work until touch webview once or twice.

and then, replace webview.loadurl webview.evaluatejavascript hoping solve problem, didn't work neither.

after upgraded webview version 53 through google play, problem solved. doesn't make sense.

crosswalk engine add 20mb apk size, won't first choice.
