I've seen https://stackoverflow.com/a/36639596/6656422 this works for buttons but not ngAfterViewInit.

In this plunker https://plnkr.co/edit/p4jsdPR9varhV9ihUhO5?p=preview fileInputElement.click(); opens the browser file prompt when called from the button click but not from ngAfterViewInit even though fileInputElement is defined.

Edit: I'v tried NgZone.run() and setTimeout(), without luck.

  • Don't you use a third party library? It seemed to me that you do. If it's native angular, sorry, i have no idea how to help you =( Commented Sep 8, 2017 at 23:28
