File upload support in Browser using OI File Manager?

Wed, 08/18/2010 - 18:21 — mrdillon

After realizing that the stock Android Browser doesn't support uploading from the SD card, I poked around and determined that the list of available applications shown by the browser for a file upload field is determined by the list of applications that support the GET_CONTENT intent. That led me to find that OI File Manager supports GET_CONTENT, so I installed it hoping it would let me upload files from my SD card.

Unfortunately, while installing OI File Manager did cause it to show up as a choice in the Browser dialog that is shown in response to clicking the browse button on a file input field, choosing a file doesn't appear to actually work (at least no file name is shown in the text part of the input field after I choose a file).

Just curious whether this is a supported use case.

Thanks in advance.

It should work in principle.

It should work in principle. Could you let us know which Android version you are running, and a website where upload failed?

Does your path to the file contain white spaces? Could you try a file without white spaces?

I was using Android 2.2

I was using Android 2.2 (FRG01B) at the time. The file I was attempting to upload did not have whitespace in the name.
