react-native-file-viewer not working on Android 11

[faizanbuggy]

I am using react-native-file-viewer on android to open pdf files. It is working fine on Android 10 but gives the error "No app associated with this mime type" on Android 11 and opens google play store to download an app with a mime: application/pdf. If I download any app it still redirects me to the app store the next time.
Please help

@faizanbuggy Add following query into your manifest. It's working for me with 30th API version.

...
<queries>
    <intent>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
    </intent>
...
</queries>```

Hello. I also have an issue:
The documents uploading fine via application but it's not opening there.
When I am opening file via Android program it said that "File type is not supported or damaged" but this is a standart JPG or doc file. Will it be fixed in the nearest future?

Thank you @slava-the-skills

 <queries>
 <intent>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
     <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
 </intent>

This solution is working only for .pdf and .doc. But not for .ppt or .xlx. What should I do to make it work for all type of files?

[Choyeongdeok]

@Yandamuri me neither. Any solution about xlsx, ppt or etc in android?

where did you add the code on your manifest?
It should be directly inside the manifest tag

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="<YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME">
   
    <queries>
      <intent>
          <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
          <data android:mimeType="*/*" />
      </intent>
    </queries>
    .
    .
    .
    <application>
        .
        .
        .
     </application>
</manifest>

it works for me

I placed it exactly there and the build process gets killed with:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade
   > Android resource linking failed
     MYAPP\android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml:2:3-7:13: AAPT: error: unexpected element <queries> found in <manifest>.

I work with react-native@63.2 and react-native-file-viewer@2.1.4

[pcprinz]

I tried out some react native versions with this solution and it seems to work with react-native 0.64+ only. So I guess the tag is only supported with gradle version 4+

[douglasjunior]

Maybe add this to the Readme?

[ramonscampos]

Even putting the intent with mimeType within query tag, it still doesn't work.
Still same error message: "No app associated with this mime type"

Does anyone know what I can do?

[pcprinz]

Which mime type does the file have and which react-native version are you running?

[ramonscampos]

pdf.
Version 64.1, but i just updated to 66.3 and still doesnt' work

If anyone has the error unexpected element <queries> found in <manifest>, try to upgrade your Gradle Plugin to one of these versions:

• 3.3.3
• 3.4.3
• 3.5.4
• 3.6.4
• 4.0.1

I installed Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides and edit AndroidManifest.xml

<queries>
   <package android:name="com.google.android.apps.docs.editors.docs" /> <!-- package names of Google Docs -->
   <package android:name="com.google.android.apps.docs.editors.sheets" /> <!-- package names of Google Sheets -->
   <package android:name="com.google.android.apps.docs.editors.slides" /> <!-- package names of Google Slides -->
   <intent>
     ...
   </intent>
 </queries>

This is works for me.
