Hi,

Is there some way to use the FileChooser or FileChooserDialogBox on mobile devices (eg Android). What happens is all the modal methods disapear.

I’ve been trying to make my own `FileChooserAsync’ class that uses the FileChooserDialogBox and the FileBrowserComponent. it works a bit, i dont need it to be modal. Unfortunately, I cant find a way to know when the ok/cancel button is pressed. I could make some methods virtual and subclass, but i keep thinking, surely there’s a simple way to to this because the Chooser window appears and is fine on the device.

i must be missing something?
