Andrew Grieve commented on CB-5294:
-----------------------------------
So, apparently <input type=file> is even causing trouble for Chrome on KitKat.
There's no quick fix we can use, so will need to hack it up if we want to make
it work. Likely it will be fixed in a future update.
> 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.
