What’s the standard way for opening Android’s native file picker? I’ve tried using OS.shell_open(), but it causes my app to crash. I’m trying different paths such as user://, /, and OS.get_system_dir(OS.SYSTEM_DIR_DCIM). None of them work, and I’m using ProjectSettings.globalize_path().
Linked below is the file picker that I am trying to open. I’ve used the same one across many different apps, so there must be a way to open it without having to recreate it ourselves. Does Godot support this?

Godot currently doesn’t feature OS file picker integration, so you would have to write an Android plugin to achieve this.

Thank you for the clarification. I was searching for awhile and wanted to be sure that there was not an implementation in place before going the harder route of creating one myself.
