Description
If I select the XML file from the Recent section then I get back null,
JS: {
JS: "files": [
JS: null
JS: ],
JS: "android": {}
JS: }
However, if I open the menu and go into the internal storage, downloads and then select the file, I get the correct path
JS: {
JS: "files": [
JS: "/storage/emulated/0/Download/NectronGoldenAle.xml"
JS: ],
JS: "android": {}
JS: }

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by selecting the XML file from Android's Recent section, then compare the result with selecting it through internal storage and Downloads. Trace how the picker result is converted into the returned file path; done means Recent selections return the file path instead of null.
