Yeah, they are not usable, they can only be read by skinshortcuts.
So, this means the problem is in skinshortcuts then. I will take a look at it tomorrow.

Did you also try to browse any addons in skinshortcuts ?

I've tried to look into this myself as best I can (as someone who doesn't have an Android device). Whilst I didn't get too far, possibly this might help track down where the issue is.

My instinct is to say that skin shortcuts isn't failing, based on the fact that a select dialog (albeit an empty one, from the reports - though I'm guessing that the dialog shows the ".." item) - that will only display after skin shortcuts has received and processed a listing from json. That suggests that the json is returning something that is valid, and skin shortcuts is able to process it.

I do know, from my failed attempts at trying to clear the skin helper services widget cache remotely, that if the cache is empty then that is exactly what skin shortcuts will display (naturally, as skin helper has no widgets to return to it), so my guess would be that something is going wrong in pre-caching the widgets. My further guess, as this is only happening on Android, and earlier JayZ showed a link to try and show the extended info script, is that it could - possibly - be that script causing the issue, as I know it has previously had some problems working on Android due to the lack of PIL on that platform.

That's just a guess, though, and as I say I really can't look into it any further without access to Android.
