TASK: Implement file association registration and file handling ( aka file intents ) for Android 7 and Android 8 based on Apache Cordova.
We use Apache Cordova 8.0.0 for developing apps on Android Platform 7.1.1. and Android 8.
Since Android 7 google changed the behavior when an app wants to register for a file name extension , e.g. ".html" or ".xyz" to suggest the user to open the app. It worked fine in our App for Android 6, but stopped working in Android 7 and newer.
We need a template, sample or fix for Cordova to allow :
- register our Android mobile app for opening files with extension ".xyz" in Android file browser and also in apps like Gmail where user opens an attachment with file name "*.xyz" .
- allow to open and read the actual file data in the Android mobile app
