Summary

Use the native Android file picker instead of the custom one.

Basic Example

When selecting videos or pictures, the native Android file picker should be utilized.

Motivation

The current file picker has several issues:

  • It only displays four folders in the Album tab: Videos, Camera, Screenshots, and Downloads. Other folders containing media files are not accessible.
  • The "Videos" album is not a true folder; it filters all video files instead of referencing a specific directory.
  • It is unclear what the sorting is based on, whether it is the date of last modification or the date in the metadata. For example, when I download a video from X and try to select it, it does not appear as the first item, even though I just downloaded it, and the file picker is supposed to sort by date.

By implementing the native Android file picker, users will gain access to all media on their devices through a familiar interface and folder structure.
