@schlicki2808 Amazing, it works! I was only lacking the policy group entry. Thank you so much!

I wanted to give it a try... but I can't even get to access the API! I'm trying to use the objects from the docs, but they don't seem to exist.

Are you familiar with accessing the HTML5 API? Do you know if there's something I must to to have access to that API?

@cibersheep Thanks for the links! I'll give them a look whenever I can.

I'm currently working on an HTML app which can open and display PDF files. I'm using the HTML5 FIle Reader API to open files; it works on Desktop, but not on Ubuntu Touch.

When I try to open a file, it opens the "Choose from" panel, which tells me that "there aren't currently any apps installed that can provide this type of content". I found this a bit strange, since I thought I could choose from my filesystem directly.

If it can be of any help, my HTML is: <input id="loadfile" type="file" />

Is there a way I could load a file from my HTML app if there are no other applications to "provide" them? If not, would it be possible to make the File Manager app provide all types of files by default, so we can select files from the filesystem?

This may be an alternate question (I'll open a different thread if requested), but in case the resolution of both problems are linked: Is there a way to make my HTML app accept PDF files from Content Exchange, so that other apps that want to send PDF files to other apps can show my app listed?
