现在Android 4.4不再支持的输入类型文件可以用于文件上传吗？

Question

I know there are a couple of threads on this but none of them seem to have a solution. I'm developing my final year project at the minute as an Android mobile application. One of my features was a file upload inside a HTML form in the in app browser of Phonegap project. However, since my phone upgraded to Android KitKat 4.4, it no longer works as apparently it's unsupported. I tried http://www.script-tutorials.com/pure-html5-file-upload/ tutorial but it also fails to work inside the inapp browser? Is there anything else or any other way I can try before I have to scrap this idea from my application? I really don't want to as it's a key feature and I'm going to lose marks. Thanks lots, Paula

You can try this I've read on the jira bug comments

Hey all, I've been experiencing this issue as well so I wrote a Cordova FileChooser plugin to a "band-aid" for the time being. Basically, in Android 4.4(KitKat), as mentioned in previous comments, the file dialog is not opened. However the onclick event is still fired on so you can call the FileChooser plugin to open a file dialog and upon selection, you can set a variable that contains the full path to the file. At this point, you can use the FileTransfer plugin to upload to your server and hook into the onprogress event to show progress. 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.
