Android: Opening PDF in Oreo

Question

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.

Refer to this SO for details

 use this lib:
 "https://github.com/barteksc/AndroidPdfViewer"


Glide:
compile 'com.github.barteksc:android-pdf-viewer:3.0.0-beta.5'

<com.github.barteksc.pdfviewer.PDFView
        android:id="@+id/pdfView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
