FileUriExposedException

open class FileUriExposedException : RuntimeException

The exception that may be thrown when an application exposes a file:// android.net.Uri to another app.

This exception is a diagnostic tool for developers to identify situations where file:// Uris are being exposed. It is not always thrown when a file:// Uri is exposed, so it must not be relied on for security purposes on any SDK version.

file:// Uri exposure is discouraged since the receiving app may not have access to the shared path. For example, the receiving app may not have requested the android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE runtime permission, or the platform may be sharing the android.net.Uri across user profile boundaries.

Instead, apps should use content:// Uris so the platform can extend temporary permission for the receiving app to access the resource.

This is only thrown for applications targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.N or higher. Applications targeting earlier SDK versions are allowed to share file:// android.net.Uri, but it's strongly discouraged.
