title: Crosswalk Cordova Android multiple file select
body: <p>I have a hybrid app built using cordova and angularjs, for Android I run the app using crosswalk. </p>
  
  <p>I've been scouring the internet to find the solution for the html5 file input to allow selection of multiple files. </p>
  
  <p>I'm using the following element for file selecting: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="file" multiple="multiple" name="files[]" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am running Android Lollipop version 5.1.1 and Crosswalk version 20, I have tested with Crosswalk version 18 and 19 also. Chrome is installed on my device running the latest version although I don't think that makes a difference. </p>
  
  <p>When I click the input element above I get the expected dialog asking me to select from my Documents or Camera. If I choose to select from my Documents then I am only able to select single files, in this case images. This is true for every App that I can select images from, so the default android 'Images', 'Videos', 'Audio', etc and external Apps such as Google Photos - All only allow me to select one single file at a time. </p>
  
  <p>In the image below you can see the files listed, a long press on each tile does not add the file to a multiple selection. </p>

  <p>This works on the IOS version of the App. </p>
  
  <p>After digging through all the material I can find online it seems that the multiple attribute is supported on Android 5+ running Chrome 49+. </p>
  
  <p>I'm unsure if this is a crosswalk browser implementation or Android Operating System issue, or something else? Could anyone advise.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>Just to confirm this does not work with or without using Crosswalk.</p>
