Description
Affects 6.2.2, 6.3.X on Android 8.
It works on Android 7 and 7.1
Android N sets a new restriction in the use of URIs. It must be a Content URI instead a file URI. In that case, if we try to share some file throught nativePath it fails.
Steps:
Read some file in your app (be sure it is placed in the external storage), after that try to share it via intent chooser:
var file = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.externalStorageDirectory, 'example.pdf');
var intent = Ti.Android.createIntent({
action: Ti.Android.ACTION_SEND,
type: file.read()
.getMimeType()
});
intent.addCategory(Ti.Android.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
//In this point nativePath is 'file://' URI. It will throw the exception
intent.putExtraUri(Ti.Android.EXTRA_STREAM, file.nativePath);
var chooser = Ti.Android.createIntentChooser(intent, 'Share');
$.win.activity.startActivity(chooser);

The attached [^IntentActionSendTest.js] script can be used to test Intent.putExtraUri() content provider access.
