   Feel free to close either one. Thanks :)
   
   ## Problem
   Using [ng-file-upload](https://github.com/danialfarid/ng-file-upload) it is not possible to upload images or document on Android when the App is built using Cordova.
   
   The 2 lines fix suggested below will resolve the Issue opened [here](https://github.com/danialfarid/ng-file-upload/issues/2111) on the ng-file-upload repository and the [related Stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55261705/file-upload-not-working-for-android-in-cordova-project).
   
   This is the line after which the following 2 lines of code need to be added:
   https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/2163c8ae0536bfde9029cfc981b945f4af93e09f/framework/src/org/apache/cordova/engine/SystemWebChromeClient.java#L253
   
   Bug fix - **2 lines of code**:
   ```
       @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
       @Override
       public boolean onShowFileChooser(WebView webView, final ValueCallback<Uri[]> filePathsCallback, final WebChromeClient.FileChooserParams fileChooserParams) {
           Intent intent = fileChooserParams.createIntent();
           // FIX HERE (same as the above handler) vvvvvvvvvvvvvv @@
           intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE); 
           intent.setType("*/*");
           // FIX HERE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ @@
   ```
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   The user should be prompted to choose which app to use to pick a file to upload
   
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   On click no file picker is shown
   
   ## Information
   These logs get generated when the upload button that should open the file picker is clicked:
   
   "No activity found to handle file chooser intent.: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT cat= [android.intent.category.OPENABLE] typ=.jpg,.png,.tiff,.jpeg,.tif,.pdf }"
   
   ### Command or Code
   Unfortunately I cannot share the code.
   
   ### Environment, Platform, Device
   Android app built with Cordova.
   
   Same result using the default WebView and the WebView provided by cordova-plugin-ionic-webview.
   
   ### Version information
   Same result on cordova-android 7 and 8.
