CN.GALLERY_ALL_MULTI doesn't allow to select two or more videos/photos on Android

[jsfan3]

CN.GALLERY_ALL_MULTI doesn't allow to select two or more videos/photos on some Samsung Galaxy devices (Android 9) and on some Huawei devices (Android 7), while on other devices (like Google Pixel 3, Android 9) it's possible.

Could you make possible to select multiple photos or videos on all Android devices?

It seems a known and common problem:

I better investigated this issue doing some tests.

My tests:

• Android Pixel 4 XL (Android 10) -> it's possible to select one or more photos, but no video.
• Android Pixel 3 (Android 9) -> it's possible to select one or more photos, but no video.
• Samsung Galaxy S10 (Android 9) -> it's possible to select only one photo or only one video, but multiple selections are not possible
• Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Android 7) -> it's possible to select only one photo or only one video, but multiple selections are not possible

It seems that on Android Pixel devices the CN.openGallery launches the "Photo" app, while on Samsung devices it launches the "Gallery" app. The "Photo" app allows to select one or more photos only, while the "Gallery" app allows to select only one photo or only one video, disallowing multiple selections. Both options are not desirable, because none of them allows to select multiple photos and videos.

Only iOS devices work as expected, because it's possible to select multiple photos and videos in the "Camera Roll".

The only solution seems the use of the https://github.com/shannah/cn1-filechooser, that bypass all the limits described above. It's a lot better than the gallery. However, it doesn't allow to selected multiple files (tested on Android), that's why I added this RFE: shannah/cn1-filechooser#3

Thank you for your support

Please consider these issues when addressing this one. I have yet to find an acceptable pattern from a UI/UX perspective while working with cn1 gallery. #2591
