Android App On Chromebook To Access Usb Devices?

Solution 1:

I found a workaround which is to use the Additional Metadata section and add { "enableExternalDirectory": true }.

When the app first launches, it prompts the user for the folder. One must select the SD card.

I'd still prefer if we could load the files from a CRX into the Android Runtime...
