Works in Androids native browser but not when its in webview. When i click the upload button on native browser a dialog box will appear giving me the option to open my camera, gallery, or file explorer. When i do the same in webview i get a orange box and the dialog box never loads. Do I need to modify the BT_Screen_CustomURL.java file or is this a CSS issue. I've looked into this already http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4078018/how-to-disable-the-orange-circle-effect-when-clicking-on-a-link-in-a-webview Thanks in advance any thoughts.

The 'new' android Webview plugin is written to take advantage of the Users preferred Native Viewer, and will prompt them to choose when the screen becomes visible. The 'old' android would display the page within the webview natively. Cheers! -- Smug Comments Are you using BT 'new' Android or BT 'old' android?

When the screen opens on your device, you'll see a button that says 'open' (or similar). Pressing that button gives the user the option to choose the desired viewer for the document. I don't actually like that behavior; the old Android would display it natively. This (to me) adds another step that isn't needed. I kind of modified an old version to work with the new code, but I don't support it. I just got it working enough to satisfy my own needs. There is more work that can be done on it... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/115208762/Sw_smugwebview/Sw_smugwebview.zip But you're welcome to try it if you think it can help.

That is what I did with my plugin (listed above). Cheers! -- Smug Comments Then you may want to modify your plugins to use the webview as the viewer. That is what I did with my plugin (listed above).
