How to open xml file with chrome using intent?

Question

I need to open an XML file stored in a String variable. I want to open it with chrome without saving in the phone storage, is this possible?

I can open chrome using intents but now I need to load the xml file.

public void onClickOpen(View v){

    Intent intent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.android.chrome");

    startActivity(intent);
}

Thanks in advance

@m0skit0 that is not what I was looking for, I don't want to open a URI. I need to open a XML file stored in a String variable — Sad Hyena, Feb 12 '19 at 12:19
A URI is valid for any location, hence the U meaning UNIVERSAL. — m0skit0, Feb 12 '19 at 12:20
@m0skit0 ok but I don't want to save the file using phone storage...I asked if it is possible to do without messing with phone storage — Sad Hyena, Feb 12 '19 at 12:22
where is the file stored? from where do you want to open it? — Vladyslav Matviienko, Feb 12 '19 at 12:49
So you want to pass the XML string to Chrome? I don't think that is possible. — m0skit0, Feb 12 '19 at 13:35

If you want to do in a webview it can be done in this way

String mString = "<html><body>You scored <b>192</b> points.</body></html>";

WebView webView = findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null,mString,"text/html","UTF-8",null);
