I get a "choose workflow" message and "no apps can perform > this action". I assume this has not been implemented yet.

The reason it doesn't show any file chooser is that there is a special mimetype of the file required that is not yet recognised by the system. It actually works if i just leave out the constraint when sending the request for a file. I hoped to just let the user select only valid .t2flow files from where they are usually saved. I guess it wouldn't be the case to easily allow for the selection of only the mimetype for the workflow. wanted to provide a two step validation of the file before launching the WorkflowdetailsFragement that loads the workflow file for processing. > * In the workflow detail page it is not obvious that you can > scroll to the right to get more details, is this a standard android way of > doing things?

I would allow for the option of Creating the directory on primary storage or even ask users to configure a storage directory.
