Opening PDF throws FileUrlExposed bug on Android Version 7.1.1 after API 27 migration.

[ChrisLace]

I encounter this issue only on Android Samsung Tab E with Version 7.1.1.
In my app, I have hyperlink to open PDF file - When user opens the file, I will save the file and open it when ever it is needed. This is functionality working on iPhone and android devices android.targetSDKVersion : 23 but not without build hint. This throws FileUrlExposed issue. Please fix this issue as early as possible. Thanks

Are you getting this with something like:

Display.getInstance().execute("https://example.com/my.pdf");

or only with

File myFile = downloadFileFromUrl("https://example.com/my.pdf");
Display.getInstance().execute(myFile.getAbsolutePath());

?

A small test case is always helpful and usually results in issues being fixed more quickly

I missed the fact that he didn't include the link/code. See the error log (as an image) here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50942717/codename-one-pdf-not-opening-in-samsung-tab-samsung-sm-t377a and the code/conversation below

Shannah and Shai, When would these changes are available in the builds(after july 17th?) . Is there any workaround for PDF before that time. With SDK=23 build hint it works on newer OS devices but not working for older devices. If we release the build to App store will this issue exists for App store builds with build server patch. Please advise.

Another issue with SDK=23, first time when it gets to the page where the link to pdf present will display blank screen- I have to kill the app and reopen it to see the page. second time onwards I don't see that issue. Please advise.

Updates go out every Friday
