file_picker 1.3.7

A package that allows you to use a native file explorer to pick single or multiple absolute file paths, with extensions filtering support.

1.3.7

Rollback - Breaking change: Re-adds runtime verification for external storage read permission. Don't forget to add the permission to the AndroidManifest.xml file as well. More info in the README file. Bug fix: Fixes a crash that could cause some Android API to crash when multiple files were selected from external storage.

1.3.6

Improvements

• Removes the Android write permissions requirement.
• Minor improvements in the example app.
• Now the exceptions are rethrown in case the user wants to handle them, despite that already being done in the plugin call.

1.3.5

Bug fix: Fixes an issue that could prevent users to pick files from the iCloud Drive app, on versions below iOS 11.

1.3.4+1

Rollback: Removes a local dependency that shouldn't have been committed with 1.3.4 which would cause Android build to fail.

1.3.4

Bug fix: Protects the registrar.activity() in the Android side of being accessed when it's null.

1.3.3

Bug fixes

• Fixes an issue where sometimes a single file path was being returned as a List instead of String.
• requestCode in Android intents are now restricted to 16 bits.

1.3.2

Bug fix: Returns a null value in the getFile() when the picker is canceled.

1.3.1

Bug fix: Fixes an issue on Android, where other activity would try to call FilePicker's result object when it shouldn't.

1.3.0

Breaking changes

• FileType.CAMERA is no longer available, if you need it, you can use this package along with image_picker.

New features

• You can now pick multiple files by using the getMultiFilePath() method which will return a Map<String,String> with all paths from selected files, where the key matches the file name and the value its path. Optionally, it also supports filtering by file extension, otherwise all files will be selectable. Nevertheless, you should keep using getFilePath() for single path picking.
• You can now use FileType.AUDIO to pick audio files. In iOS this will let you select from your music library. Paths from DRM protected files won't be loaded (see README for more details).
• Adds getFile() utility method that does the same of getFilePath() but returns a File object instead, for the returned path.

Bug fixes and updates

• This package is no longer attached to the image_picker, and because of that, camera permission is also no longer required.
• Fixes an issue where sometimes the InputStream wasn't being properly closed. Also, its exception is now being forward to the plugin caller.
• Fixes an issue where the picker, when canceled, wasn't calling the result callback on the underlying platforms.

1.2.0

Breaking change: Migrate from the deprecated original Android Support Library to AndroidX. This shouldn't result in any functional changes, but it requires any Android apps using this plugin to also migrate if they're using the original support library.

1.1.1

• Updates README file.

1.1.0

Breaking changes

• FileType.PDF was removed since now it can be used along with custom file types by using the FileType.CUSTOM and providing the file extension (e.g. PDF, SVG, ZIP, etc.).

New features

• Now it is possible to provide a custom file extension to filter file picking options by using FileType.CUSTOM
