This project was forked from https://github.com/caixiangsap/filechooser.git, that was forked from https://github.com/wrrzag88/filechooser.git, that was forked from Crypho/filechooser, that was originally forked from cdibened/filechooser, so... thank you all for your work.
The reason for this fork was the issue that it was not possible to restore the plugin in an automated build environment. No code changes are made.
This plugin was created as a workaround for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5294 and https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62220. This plugin is mainly configured for Android 4.4 so I would recommend to continue to use the native file dialogs for earlier versions of Android. There might be issues with the plugin as I have not fully tested all possible scenarios on many devices, but I have installed it on a Nexus 5 and it worked fine.
The core pieces of the code were taken from https://github.com/iPaulPro/aFileChooser. A huge thanks to him!!! All I did was write the plugin wrapper around it. Please take note of the second part of the Setup step from the aforementioned aFileChooser.
Note that like a ContentProvider, the DocumentProvider authority must be unique.
You should change com.ianhanniballake.localstorage.documents in your Manifest, as
well as the LocalStorageProvider.AUTHORITY field.
