Paul Kane commented on CB-5294:
-------------------------------
If truly a feature-regression on Android 4.4 that's bad news. Would expect to
hear more about this as more people upgrade to 4.4 and their Cordova (or other
webview-based) apps start breaking.
Our Cordova app requires image uploading to be useful at all, so this is a
show-stopper for us.
Would like to hear more confirmation from the Android and Cordova crews.
Perhaps there's some kind of work around that can be hacked together involving
Cordova file access... just don't know, haven't had to look into that before. I
wouldn't be crazy about having to have a separate image-upload workflow for
Cordova users and web users.
> File input element not opening file picker in Android 4.4

> Key: CB-5294
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5294
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Environment: Android 4.4 (emulator and Nexus 5)
> Reporter: Paul Kane
> Priority: Blocker
>
> The file input field doesn't respond when clicked/tapped in Android 4.4.
> Works fine in previous Android versions. This is regardless of whether the
> Target Level is set to 18 or 19.
> To reproduce, I created a fresh Cordova 3.1.0 project for Android. The only
> modification I made to the default (placeholder) index.html file was adding a
> <form> element with a single <input type="file"> element inside. Clicking the
> "Choose File" button does nothing. No Logcat output or errors. Normally at
> this point a dialogue would open allowing me to select an image from the
> gallery or take a picture, which is what happens in older Android versions.
