File input doesn't select a file when using a sidebar app
Bug Report
Problem
When selecting an app from the sidebar when opening a file the file is not sent back to the app.
What is expected to happen?
When I select a file using an app from the sidebar the file should be selected.
What does actually happen?
The file is selected in the other app and returns to the file picker screen and does not return to the app
Information
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a
<input type="file">element - Click that element to open the android file picker
- Click the hamburger at the top to open the sidebar
- Click on an app from the sidebar menu, the most easy use case is the file manager
- Select a file inside the file manager app
- The file should be sent to the cordova app but instead it only returns back to the screen with the sidebar.
Using the same sequence in the browser allows the site to get the selected file. So the browser implementation is the expected behavior.
Command or Code
I don't think anything besides an <input type="file" change="alert('back!')" />
Environment, Platform, Device
Android, I've tested it both in samsung 8 and xiomi redmi 3, but I think most devices is affected by this.

Hi, @HarelM. I'm also suffering from this bug in my app. Is there any update?
Not that I know of. I haven't tried the latest version of android-cordova, I'm still using 8.1, thought I don't have high hopes this is solved there as no one seems to have contacted me regarding this issue... @maintainers?
