This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The user has a form with an image field and he would like to trigger the camera on mobile devices when trying to upload an image.
Solution:
Accessing the camera is not managed by the browser, it has to be implemented by the mobile platform(Android). On Chrome mobile on Android, when trying to upload an image the phone suggests several applications, the camera included.

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
I run a small test with my Android phone on Chrome with a form that has an image field, and when I clicked on the upload button, the system suggested multiple apps to use, the camera and Files apps were among them. Check the attached screenshot.
I believe this feature is not provided by the Web application(WordPress or Toolset), but rather by the local application(the browser).
I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any questions.
