Android Question Get acceptable file extensions?

[JohnC]

If a webpage has an "upload" button on it using the below HTML code:

<input type="file" id="file_inputs" class="" accept=".png,.jpg,.jpeg" >

Then, if I use the "Upload file" example here:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/upload-files-with-webview.98623/

Is there a way to get that list of acceptable file extensions that are listed in the HTML code? (accept=".png,.jpg,.jpeg")

When the Button is clicked, it invokes the "ShowFile_Chooser" event in the B4A app:

Sub ShowFile_Chooser (FilePathCallback As Object, FileChooserParams As Object)

So, I'm thinking that maybe those acceptable file extensions are in the provided FileChooserParams parameter object.

How can this be done?

Try this:

Dim jparams As JavaObject = FileChooserParams
Dim acceptedTypes() As String = jparams.RunMethod("getAcceptTypes", null)

https://developer.android.com/refer...lient.FileChooserParams.html#getAcceptTypes()

I inserted those two lines in the sub that provides the "FileChooserParams":

Sub ShowFile_Chooser (FilePathCallback As Object, FileChooserParams As Object)
    
    Dim jparams As JavaObject = FileChooserParams
    Dim acceptedTypes() As String = jparams.RunMethod("getAcceptTypes", Null)
    
    cc.Initialize("CC")
    cc.Show("*/*", "Choose File")
    Wait For CC_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir As String, FileName As String)
    Dim jo As JavaObject = Me
    If Success Then
        Dim FN As String = GetFileNameFromContentResult(FileName)
        Log(FileName)
        Log(FN)
        File.Copy(Dir, FileName, Starter.Provider.SharedFolder, FN)
        jo.RunMethod("SendResult", Array(Starter.Provider.GetFileUri(FN), FilePathCallback))
    Else
        jo.RunMethod("SendResult", Array(Null, FilePathCallback))
    End If
End Sub

But, I'm getting an error when it runs the second line:

*** Service (starter) Create ***

Using FileProvider? false

Different approach:
Change the java code:

processBA.raiseEventFromUI(this, "showfile_chooser", filePathCallback, fileChooserParams, fileChooserParams.getAcceptTypes());

Event:

Sub ShowFile_Chooser (FilePathCallback As Object, FileChooserParams As Object, AcceptTypes() As String)

That works great - thank you!
