[Android] OpenURL() doesn't open local files on > Android 6 if Target API Level is > 23

Mobile

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open QA attached project
2. Add a file (preferably an image (included in the project)) to the persistantDataPath of the device (will require one launch to make that folder)
3. Launch the app and click on the screen

Expected behaviour: Image opened in an image viewer
Actual behaviour: Nothing happens

JNI:OpenURL:android.os.FileUriExposedException: file:///{persistantDataPath}/TestFile.jpg exposed beyond app through Intent.getData() is thrown

Reproduced on: 5.6.6f2, 2017.1.5f1, 2017.2.4f1, 2017.4.13f1, 2018.2.12f1, 2018.3.0b5, 2019.1.0a4

  1. Resolution Note:

    This is behavior by the Android OS: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/nougat/android-7.0-changes#permfilesys
    You can't open files private to an app by other apps, if you target API23 or later.
    If you want to save files and open them from other apps, please use the SD card or any other common location.
