filepicker's Issues

Android 11 Support

Hi!

I tested your library in Android 11 and when trying to retrieve a pdf file, it crashes.

Here's the error log:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=101, result=-1, data=Intent { dat=content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/document:39 flg=0x1 }} to activity {com.interactivex.kotlin.android.debug/com.interactivex.kotlin.android.ui.activity.dashboard.DashboardActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: FileUtils.getFile(this, data?.data) must not be null

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: FileUtils.getFile(this, data?.data) must not be null

It works for images and videos in Android 11 and it works for Android 10 (I assume older Android versions as well) with images, videos, pdfs.

I used / and application/* MimeType as well. But still doesn't work with Android 11 when trying to retrieve non-media files.

Thank you!

Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar support

Hi!

This is a good lightweight filepicker! However, when I tried to run it with a parent theme of NoActionBar, it crashes. Can you add support for that?

Thank you!
