---------------------------------
We can't answer there, right?
I've looked into android 4.4 source code and the openFileChooser with the 4.1+
syntax (public void openFileChooser(ValueCallback<Uri> uploadMsg, String
acceptType, String capture))
but it just doesn't work now, and by the google's answer, it seems that they
have intentionally removed it
> 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 (emulator and Nexus 5)
> Reporter: Paul Kane
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> 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.
