Android Viewer now uses the documents provider framework [1], which uses the
system file chooser provided by Android.
The app's custom file abstraction layer and documents browsing UI has been
dropped in

android: Drop custom file abstraction + UI
The custom document browsing mechanism, which was accessing the file system
directly would also no longer be in line with security requirements for current
Android versions, s.a. [2].
Using the document provider framework also provides consistency with other
apps.
Given the above, my understanding is that any improvements in how file browsing
works would not be done in Android Viewer, but either in one of the existing
document providers, or by creating a separate app that provides a new document
provider or a different way of browsing the file system and opening files from
there.
Therefore, I'm closing this as WORKSFORME. (NOTOURBUG or WONTFIX might fit as
well.)
