Description

Android 7.0 removes the "file://" Protocol or to be more precise, removes the possibility to share URIs with "file://" Protocol outside the Scope of the own App. If some Code tries this, the result is "android.os.FileUriExposedException".

This affects a variety of Plugins:

• inAppBrowser: opening a file:// URI (e.g. to show a downloaded PDF) crasehs the app,
• Camera crashes immediately: opening a cached File by "ClipData.Item.getUri()"
• possible a couple of the File Plugin Methods
