The following code works fine on Android 9.0
Somebody on your project did something unfortunate to allow that code to work on Android 9. It should have failed three years ago, starting with Android 7.0, with a FileUriExposedException .
On Android 10, apps do not have access to external storage, except for a few limited app-specific locations. This is what Google was warning about starting with Android 7.0, that you should not use Uri.fromFile() anymore.
The right solution three years ago — and the right solution today — is to use FileProvider to make that PDF available to the PDF viewer app.
