Not able to open the downloaded file in Android. In iOS it works perfectly fine.

Path for Android local file:

/storage/emulated/0/download/test.pdf

For download file I am using RNFetchBlob.fetch(....)
Thanks in Advance.

I added it to res/xml/file_viewer_provider_paths.xml. Still doesn't work for me

@rizki-fr can you tell us where this file is situated exactly? I'm kind of stuck in this issue and if it works your way it'll be great to have this fixed.

Mind sharing the filepath.xml path?

edit: I managed to solve the issue by switching to react-native-blob-util and handle the new Android scoped storage (as documented here https://github.com/RonRadtke/react-native-blob-util#android-media-storage). After that, opening the resulting path succeed without problem. Hope it will help someone!
