Chooser

File chooser plugin for Cordova.

The following must be added to config.xml to prevent crashing when selecting large files on Android:

<platform name="android"> <edit-config   file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml"   mode="merge"   target="/manifest/application">   <application android:largeHeap="true" /> </edit-config></platform>
