<![CDATA[QFileDialog::getOpenFileContent on Android]]>I'm trying to use QFileDialog::getOpenFileContent() on Android.

The file picker intent opens correctly, but the callback is never invoked, so I cannot obtain the selected file content.

I have already requested MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. Using either QFile with a file URL or my own file picker implementation works correctly, so file access itself does not seem to be the issue.

Is QFileDialog::getOpenFileContent() expected to work on Android? If so, are there any additional requirements or configurations that I might have missed? I couldn't find any related bug reports in the Qt bug tracker.

I remember there being various issues with QUrl, but don't remember details.

And, of course, something not working in Android, and even the supposedly evolved and mature Qt 6x in Android, is no surprise...

It is the same from Qt6.10 to Qt6.11.1, and has been tested on Android 15 and 16.

You should add which version of Qt and Androïd you are using.
