selectInput() is not working in Android mode.

[bizkitj]

`
void setup() {
selectInput("Select a file to process:", "fileSelected");
}

void fileSelected(File selection) {
if (selection == null) {
println("Window was closed or the user hit cancel.");
} else {
println("User selected " + selection.getAbsolutePath());
}
}`

switch from Java mode to Android mode, processing gives error, Am I doing something stupid?

Hi, unfortunately the selectInput() function is not currently implemented in the Android mode, essentially due to the reason we discussed in #295: there is no native file selection widget in Android. I will mark this as en enhancement, but cannot give you at this time an estimate on when this will be addressed.

@codeanticode The simplest to way to implement this would be to use the native file browser app. This app is mostly available on all the devices. Processing-android will call startActivityForResult which will start the file browser activity.
It is explained here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7856959/android-file-chooser

Also, there is a library that adds this functionality: android-select-file
