This is but one app in my bizarre attempt to bypass/rearrange the android default share system. Some apps I need recurring options. Others I need to default open in apps not shown on the system menu...I'm picky but just haven't sat down and learned to write intents. So i just daisy-chain everything. Takes some practice - but this app is much needed at times. Thanks dev.ðŸĪŠðŸ—

It never gives me an option when something wants to use the system "documents ui" app.I wish it could give me options for that one, as I personally hate it and use other file managers

Used to deal with Samsung's decision to remove Always or Just Once when choosing a different app. Latest update only causes force closes. Uninstall and re installing didn't fix and neither did a hard reset of the device.

on sgs7 MM. I clicked a http link then picked this app as default, the window came back up and none of my browsers were on the list to choose from, this app was the only option to choose!

About this app

This app is used for two purposes:

1. You open a file and when you select an app it is automatically selected as the default app. You want that you must be presented with an app chooser every time you open that file.

2. You want the app chooser to pop up but you don't want to press the JUST ONCE button every time.

The solution to this is that you need to go and open the file as before, but instead of selecting the desired app you should select APP PICKER.

Then you will again be presented with a list of apps which can open that file. Now you can open that file with your desired app.

Next time you open the file, you will be presented with a list of apps which will also include the App Picker. Now you would not need to select app picker again.

Your problem should now be resolved, that (1) you will always be shown an app picker, and (2) you will not need to press JUST ONCE button.
