Android doesn't find Intent for opening a PNG File

Question

So i try to open a PNG File on the system using the Gallery, but for some reason I always get an ActivityNotFoundException saying the following :

No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=context://storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.myapp/files/MyApp/1533800534172image001.png typ=image/* }

My code looks like this :

val intent = Intent()
intent.action = Intent.ACTION_VIEW
intent.setDataAndType(uri,"image/*")
context.startActivity(intent)

Can you make val intent = new Intent(); and see if it works ? — Alperen Kantarcı, Aug 09 '18 at 07:57
@chiappins yes - if i do a file.length() its equal to the size of the file. — T.Furholzer, Aug 09 '18 at 07:58

I think the problem is on your variable uri. it should be like:

uri = Uri.parse("file://" + "/sdcard/path-to-your-file.png")

i have tried replacing "context://" with "file://" which leads to a android.os.FileUriExposedException – T.Furholzer Aug 09 '18 at 08:03
