Tauri dialog box not opening in Android 15

[xksteven]

I was trying to test this out on a phyisical Android 15 device. Logs read by running adb logcat. I can test on other virtual devices if desired.

Main error is here:
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.PICK typ=application/*...

Which seems to indicate that the plugin needs to optionally use a different intent such as new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);

I'm not that familiar with the tauri plugin codebase otherwise I'd make the change myself.

Longer logs to give more context.

i tested it less than a week ago for #2410 and didn't see any issues 🤔 Can you share your code and the output of tauri info? And if you wouldn't mind, testing another (virtual) device would indeed be appreciated :)

[xksteven]

I'll see if I can get a minimal version of the code. The codebase has gotten semi big but can trim it to be MVP to reproduce the bug.

npm run tauri info

@FabianLars Here's a "minimal" example where I can successfully open a file on linux or mac but not on Android and experiences the bug above. The minimal example reproduces the error for me. I still haven't tried on a debugger. I don't recall how to test that with tauri atm.

https://github.com/xksteven/tauri_android_bug/tree/main

I stripped down the app so it doesn't really do anything other than try to open a file.

Relevant file location where I open a dialog box

Let me know if there's anything else I need to provide to help out.

No Activity found to handle Intent means that there is no app that can be called. So may not be viable for some devices.

This appears to be due to the following code

fun showFilePicker(invoke: Invoke)

var intent = if (parsedTypes.isNotEmpty()) {
    val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK)
        setIntentMimeTypes(intent, parsedTypes)
        intent
    } else {
        val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT)
        intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
        intent.type = "*/*"
        intent
    }
}

We need to use Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, which opens the system's file picker app, instead of Intent.ACTION_PICK.
Or add a process for when the intent is not available as follows

// If the intent is not available, use system's file picker app instead
if (intent.resolveActivity(activity.packageManager) == null) {
    val i = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT)
    i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
    setIntentMimeTypes(i, parsedTypes) 

    intent = i
}

Same here in Android 8 (real device) and Android 12 (emulator).
adb logcat shows:
