Android Question Can not open downloaded file using Intent

[Ganiadi]

Hi All,

I tried to download a video file, save it in a shared directory and view using Intent
But i got below error

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://com.MyTest.apps.provider/name/dummy.mp4 typ=video/mp4 flg=0x20001 }

Below is my code :

Sub DownloadAndView(cMimeType As String, cFileUrl As String, cFileName As String)
    Dim Intent1 As Intent
    Dim HTTPTask As HttpJob
   
    HTTPTask.Initialize("HTTPTask", Me)
    HTTPTask.Download(cFileUrl)      
    wait for (HTTPTask) JobDone(HTTPTask As HttpJob)

    If HTTPTask.Success Then
        Try          
            Dim out As OutputStream = File.OpenOutput(Starter.shared, cFileName, False)
            File.Copy2(HTTPTask.GetInputStream, out)      
            out.Close '<------ very important
           
            Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_VIEW, CreateFileProviderUri(Starter.shared,cFileName))
'            Intent1.SetComponent("android/com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity")
            Intent1.Flags = 1
            Intent1.SetType(cMimeType)
            StartActivity(Intent1)
        Catch
            Log(LastException.Message)
        End Try

    End If  
End Sub

Sub CreateFileProviderUri (Dir As String, FileName As String) As Object
    Dim Fp As JavaObject
    Dim context As JavaObject
    context.InitializeContext
    Fp.InitializeStatic("android.support.v4.content.FileProvider")
    Dim f As JavaObject
    f.InitializeNewInstance("java.io.File", Array(Dir, FileName))
    Return Fp.RunMethod("getUriForFile", Array(context, Application.PackageName & ".provider", f))
End Sub

In Starter Class

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.   
    Public rp As RuntimePermissions
    Public shared As String
End Sub

Sub Service_Create
    'This is the program entry point.
    'This is a good place to load resources that are not specific to a single activity.
    shared = rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("shared")
End Sub

Please Help
Tks

First step is to use FileProvider class.

[class] FileProvider - share files

Edit: FileProvider is included as an internal library now. After investigating several issues with the current FileProvider code that you can find in the forum, I decided to make some improvements and implement it in a class. Starting from Android 7 (API 24) you cannot directly share file uris...

Dear Erel,

Tks alot for your reference and it solved now, actually CreateFileProviderUri also is taken from the class, but currently i changed it and use the FileProvider lib
it was my fault where the parameter that i passed to the module is taken from the database and there is a space for the cFileName,. When i trimmed it it work like a charm
