##Description The HTML <select> tag does not work in React Native WebView on Android tablets, i.e. clicking on the select button does not open the options list.
##Tested Devices:
- Samsung Galaxy Tag S2 (SM-T810)
- Nexus 7
##How to Reproduce the Bug The bug can be reproduced using the demo React Native app in this repository:
git clone https://github.com/huonderv/react-native-webview-html-select-bug.git
cd react-native-webview-html-select-bug
npm install
react-native run-androidThe demo app includes a basic WebView in index.android.js, which renders a simple HTML <select> (see code below).
##Code index.android.js:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
AppRegistry,
StyleSheet,
Text,
View,
WebView
} from 'react-native';
export default class WebViewProject extends Component {
render() {
return (
<WebView style={styles.container}
source={{ uri: 'file:///android_asset/simpleselect.html'}}
startInLoadingState={true} />
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
},
});
AppRegistry.registerComponent('WebViewProject', () => WebViewProject);simpleselect.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<select>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="opel">Opel</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>##Screenhots
On an Android smartphone, the select works as expected:
| 1. Initial | 2. Tap on select button | 3. List of options opens |
|---|---|---|

However, on an Android tablet, tapping on the select button does not open the options list:
| 1. Initial | 2. Tap on select button | 3. Nothing happens |
