Share file throws SecurityException

[angel-garcia-lopez]

Share API throws an exception while trying to share a local file:

D/Capacitor: App paused E/DatabaseUtils: Writing exception to parcel java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading androidx.core.content.FileProvider uri content://com.***.fileprovider/my_cache_images/log/log_2020-10-01_135743.txt from pid=30905, uid=1000 requires the provider be exported, or grantUriPermission() at android.content.ContentProvider.enforceReadPermissionInner(ContentProvider.java:729) at android.content.ContentProvider$Transport.enforceReadPermission(ContentProvider.java:602) at android.content.ContentProvider$Transport.query(ContentProvider.java:231) at android.content.ContentProviderNative.onTransact(ContentProviderNative.java:104) at android.os.Binder.execTransactInternal(Binder.java:1021) at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:994)

I am sure that this is because the plugin needs to add Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION to the Chooser intent.
See this example in stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59439316](url)

I am calling the API like this:

let shareRet = await Share.share({ title: 'share-title', url: "file:///data/user/0/com.***/cache/log/log_2020-10-01_135743.txt", dialogTitle: 'share-dialog-title' });

I managed to solve it locally using the solution provided in that link and a few others that are pretty much the same. I cannot share it as pull request because I am not using GIT and I don't have the time at all.

It basically consist in going to the Share.java file and setting the "fileUrl" as local variable variable just before the EXTRA_STREAM is added. Then, after the chooser Intent is created, you "grantUriPermission" to the packages by "queryIntentActivities" in the chooser, just like the example provided in stackoverflow.
