Suppose the player wants to load one image as his player sprite, is it possible to open it with the android file manager? And how would I do that?

It's not possible. You have to use Android API which interacts with LOVE code and pass the file streams over.

The bolded part is important. You're not allowed to pass file paths since Android 7.
Profile. Do you encounter crashes in LÖVE Android and wanna send me logcats? Please hit me up in LÖVE Discord and send the full logcat file!
