Hello,
I noticed that ask file and answer file don't work on Android. What's their replacement on Android?

Hi Max,
just like iOS, Android does not have a filesystem "per se" that you can let the user browse through.
And isn't Android also "sandboxed" somehow? Sorry, don't develop for Android.
That would prohibit this at all!

Ok, I'll write my file browser inside my app...
Do you know if I can force
mobilePickMedia to choose .txt file?

Hi,
On Android, you'd make your own. There is a global property, systemFileSelector, which would apply here, but unfortunately according to the dictionary, you can't use this property on unix based systems, which Android belongs to. I'm not sure that the dictionary entry about the systemFileSelector is actually correct and you might try it, at the risk of wasting your time. I think that creating your own is the best option.
Klaus, Android isn't sandboxed like iOS. You have many more possibilities to access files on the device.
Kind regards,
Mark
