I used an Input tag in my html, like so:

<input type='file' id='fileInput'>

And then when it is clicked on the Android device, I get a pop-up asking me which file browser I want to use. My Galaxy S3 gives me seven choices (one of which is a downloaded app), and the Panasonic ToughPad I'm developing for gives me three (one of which is the same downloaded app I have on the phone).

I do not know if it is possible to get it to automatically select one in particular - for me, choosing a file manually is supposed to be a temporary need, as eventually the app is supposed to load specific files automatically.
