Mobile browsers do not allow file uploading or anything like that.

Android 2.2+ supports File Upload

Just change the inputType property to "file" and it will show the file upload dialog.
It's currently deprecated so I guess it's better to roll your own InputFileField class.

If you only run the app on pc then why use Touch? You would be better off using extjs 4 for pc only apps. If you need file upload for mobile look at phonegap

Hi linuxyf...
I am in the finishing stages of adapting one of our sencha-phonegap apps for use on vehicle mounted Windows 7 touch screen rugged tablets... and need exactly the same thing .. i.e. a way to import and read data from a USB flash drive when WiFi or 3g comms are not an option.
Can you expand a bit on how you solved this problem. (if you don't mind)
Thanks
