how to read filebody from other app?
use this? Provider.GetFileUri(FileToSend)

s= File.ReadString ("content://com.example.myapp.fileprovider/myimages/demo.txt")
content://com.example.myapp.fileprovider/myimages/default_image.jpg

B4X:

Private Sub btnViewImage_Click
    Dim FileName As String = "b4a.png"
    File.Copy(File.DirAssets, FileName, Provider.SharedFolder, FileName)
    Dim in As Intent
    in.Initialize(in.ACTION_VIEW, "")
    Provider.SetFileUriAsIntentData(in, FileName)
    'Type must be set after calling SetFileUriAsIntentData
    in.SetType("image/*")
    StartActivity(in)
End Sub

Private Sub btnShareFile_Click
    Dim FileToSend As String = "Message.txt"
    File.WriteString(Provider.SharedFolder, FileToSend, "jaklsdjalksdjalskdjasld")
    Dim in As Intent
    in.Initialize(in.ACTION_SEND, "")
    in.SetType("text/plain")
