Paul,
Here’s the code I used.
Glean from it what you can.
I added my onSystemEvent code, which you already must have, not sure what it looks like though.
I am looking for “file//” in my event URL like this as it’s what I’m looking for.
if (string.sub(eventURL, 1, 7) == “file://”) then
You may have to look of “content//” as that’s what you get for a URL of the streamed file.
I get this for an eventURL:
eventURL == file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.android.email/cache/TeamPortal_MultipleContact_Info-2.mcnt
I have no idea if FileManager will get the file from the stream “content”, but it’s worth a try since it is a valid URL.

Let me know it you get anywhere with this, I’m interested.
