Example of extensions to be passed? mimetypes or just suffixes?

[t1amat9409]

Just a quick question.

Do I use mimetypes: eg. ["application/msword"] OR use it like this ['.doc', '.docx']?

@t1amat9409 sorry did not have the time to make a doc yet

const result = await openFilePicker({
                //@ts-ignore
                extensions: global.isIOS ? [kUTTypeData, kUTTypeContent, kUTTypeItem] : ['*/*'],
                multipleSelection: false,
                pickerMode: 0
            });

Something like that so:

• ios: use https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/understanding_utis/understand_utis_conc/understand_utis_conc.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001319-CH202-CHDHIJDE
• android: use mimetype

@farfromrefug ah, thanks man... Will try it out

[t1amat9409]

@farfromrefug I think ["pdf", "doc"] works well with this, instead of ["application/msword"]

[farfromrefug]

@t1amat9409 you mean on android?

[t1amat9409]

@farfromrefug my bad, I noticed after a while that all file are greyed out

The extensions filter is working only with one extension ["pdf"] or ["png"], but not with multiple extensions. Android API seems to have changed, and you need something like :

      intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_MIME_TYPES, acceptTypes);

I made a PR https://github.com/nativescript-community/ui-document-picker/pull/3 to fix the issue. It would be nice if you can review it, and merge this fix.

version 1.1.4 fix the issue.

This sample code work on ios and android. In android, you have to specify extension, android will find application mimetype related to the extension provided :

    const options: FilePickerOptions = {
        extensions       : isIOS ? [kUTTypeJPEG, kUTTypePDF] : ['jpeg', 'pdf'],
        multipleSelection: false
    };

Good morning,

I will try to query the errors this plugin gives me in NativeScript Discord. The question was very similar to others that were before mine.

Thanks @farfromrefug
