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