Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

On Android TV (i.e. Chromecast) is no default file manager installed. It is possible to install Amaze but other applications still claim that there's no file manager installed. However, with other file managers like MaterialFiles this works. Once they're installed other apps see this as an available file manager.

Describe the solution you'd like

It should be possible to set Amaze as a default file manager.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using other file managers I guess? :thinking:

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to register Amaze as a default file manager on Android TV by adding intent filters for file browsing actions (e.g., ACTION GET CONTENT, ACTION OPEN DOCUMENT) in the AndroidManifest.xml. Check Android TV compatibility and test using ADB or emulator.
