Thanks for the update. A bit of a wait but sounds like we'll get there in the end. On Mon, 30 Jun 2025 at 20:04, Torne (Richard Coles) wrote: > On Mon, 30 Jun 2025 at 11:42, 'Ashley Gullen' via blink-dev < > blink-dev@chromium.org> wrote: > >> Hi folks, apologies for raising an old thread, but

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: File System Access on Android and WebView

Hi folks, apologies for raising an old thread, but it's not currently clear what the status of File System Access is for Android WebView. Have the necessary changes for WebChromeClient#onShowFileChooser() shipped? We're asking Cordova to support this on Android. They already have an onShowFileChoos

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: File System Access on Android and WebView

Just re-tried this and it's working a lot better in the latest Canary! Thanks for the fixes. One more issue I noticed though is that save prompts don't appear to add a default file extension. Using our PWA (https://editor.construct.net), create a new empty project and try saving it with Menu > Pro

Thank you Joel for your work to enable this on Andoid and Webview, and thanks to you and others for ensuring we ship quality features everywhere. :) On 11/12/24 6:54 PM, Joel Hockey wrote: The FileSystemAccess API is enabled for android and webview in M132 and expecting to release to stable in

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: File System Access on Android and WebView

The FileSystemAccess API is enabled for android and webview in M132 and expecting to release to stable in Jan, 2025. Thanks to Ashley and others who have already tested, we have been able to fix some missing pieces that were tricky for android. Please do let me know if there are other issues or b

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: File System Access on Android and WebView

Ashley, I've got some fixes coming for the getFileHandle() call. I've been able to test with your app and it is working. I'm hoping to land them next week, but part of my change touches a lot of internal APIs, so review make take some time. Jeffrey, I think I've got the interop and compat bet

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: File System Access on Android and WebView

It seems like the "Interoperability and Compatibility" section for this Intent is misleading: shipping a piece of an API can cause compatibility problems if developers were feature-detecting the API as a whole, and then a function is missing or doesn't work *after* they've already committed to the

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: File System Access on Android and WebView

Yes, we use dirHandle.getFileHandle(name, { create: true }). We use that to create new files in the chosen folder. That is fundamental to how our PWA saves data in folders (and I'd have thought fundamental to the use of a directory picker). On Wed, 30 Oct 2024 at 08:40, Joel Hockey wrote: > I've

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: File System Access on Android and WebView

I've got fixes for mime-types and save-as. Ashley, I tried out the app and saw how it fails for "save as project folder". I haven't looked at the JS code you have, but I'm guessing that the problem is that the android implementation of FileSystemHandle is missing some features such as dirHandle.g

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: File System Access on Android and WebView

Thanks for filing the issues! Re 'save as folder': yes, it's just showDirectoryPicker({ mode: "readwrite" }). We just describe that as "save as" in our own UI (as it basically means "choose the location with a dialog"). My main point is that things that work on desktop Chrome aren't currently work

Hi Joel, could you summarise how this has ended up working on WebView, as there's neither permissions nor UI there? Will apps using WebView have to adopt anything? Thanks, Peter On Mon, Oct 28, 2024 at 12:50 PM 'Ashley Gullen' via blink-dev < blink-dev@chromium.org> wrote: > I'd be very happy t
