Open downloaded file on Android N using FileProvider

Question

I\'ve got to fix our App for Android N due to the FileProvider changes. I\'ve basically read all about this topic for the last ours, but no solution found did work out for me.

Answer 1

Thanks to @greenaps I was able to solve the issue. The local URI retrieved from the DownlodManager was prefixed with file://. This has to be dropped for the new FileProvider:

if (localUri.substring(0, 7).matches("file://")) {
    localUri =  localUri.substring(7);
}
File file = new File(localUri);
