-----------------------------------
Summary: Android N unable to open locally downloaded file
Key: CB-14131
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14131
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
Affects Versions: Master
Environment: Android N
Reporter: Sean Molyneaux
Attachments: inappbrowers.png
The InAppBrowser is unable to open "file://" see blog
[https://inthecheesefactory.com/blog/how-to-share-access-to-file-with-fileprovider-on-android-nougat/en]
iOS works fine and this is specifically on android.
*Suggestion*
Add in method to handle local files using the "FileProvider". There are other
plugins that specifically handle this but are a bit bloaty to add just to open
a local file. This feature would be nice to have in the inAppBrowser plugin as
a matter of convenience.
If this does not seem applicable please close, so we can devise a light plugin
to handle this in our projects going forward.
*Steps we took to fix the problem*
# Added in open local file method
# Used the FileProvided to get a acceptable uri
# Open the uri with an intent to a default application
