Guys I'm having trouble opening PDF in my project using Version Oreo, but my code works fine on other OS versions. I have a List of PDFs inside my ListView, onClick it should open the PDF externally, I tried to open it directly and through createChooser but both having problem in Oreo.
Note: Permission(Checked), PDFViewer Apps(Installed)
Below is my code:
doc_list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Uri path = Uri.fromFile(files.get(position));
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
try{
Intent intent1 = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Open With");
startActivity(intent1);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) { }
}
});

There is a change in SDK version 24. When your targetSdkVersion >= 24 you have to use FileProvider class to give access to a particular file so that it can be accessed from other apps.
