Ian Clelland commented on CB-5294:
----------------------------------
I see the same behaviour as Mike, on my N7 (4.4.3, KTU84L, Chrome 33.0.0.0).
The files are renamed -- I don't know if that is a privacy measure, to avoid
leaking information about the device or user -- but the information is always
there.
I can get at the file through remote inspector:
{code}
› f = document.forms[0]
▶ <form>…</form>
› fe = f.children[0]
<input type="file">
› fe.value
"C:\fakepath\image%3A2438"
› fe.files[0]
▼ File {webkitRelativePath: "", lastModifiedDate: Fri May 09 2014 14:53:33
GMT-0400 (EDT), name: "image%3A2438", type: "", size: 8079…}
▶ lastModifiedDate: Fri May 09 2014 14:53:33 GMT-0400 (EDT)
name: "image%3A2438"
size: 8079
type: ""
webkitRelativePath: ""
▶ __proto__: File
{code}
"{{C:\fakepath\image%3A2438}}" is amusing, and is what makes me think that
Chrome is deliberately obscuring the filenames: just making up *something*
using the last filename component that looks like a full path.
> 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
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Environment: Android 4.4.2, partially fixed in Android 4.4.3
> Reporter: Paul Kane
> Assignee: Ian Clelland
>
> 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.
