Chooser

File chooser plugin for Cordova.

The following must be added to config.xml to prevent crashing when selecting large files on Android:

<platform name="android">
<edit-config
file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml"
mode="merge"
target="/manifest/application">
<application android:largeHeap="true" />
</edit-config>
</platform>
