For this issue I have tried to send a file from cache directory as an attachment to email client like Gmail.

>> When I create a simple intent for this purpose it's throwing exception

>> But when I use Intent with createChooser(), platform is listing different email clients available in the device and allowing me to choose an email client. When I choose Gmail, it's opening properly with proper information and a message is being displayed saying permission denied for attachment. But not throwing any exception.

versions :: targetSDKVersion : 24   run on Android 5x device with Android 7.0 OS.

Steps to Reproduce :: (android app zip file attached for reference)
>> Create an application where we create a file in cache directory from a file in assets directory.

>> In the app we have two buttons, first button try to send the cache directory file using normal intent like
         "startActivity(intent);"
  When we click this button, we can observe in logs that it's throwing exception FileUriExposedException.

>> In the app on second button click we are using intent with chooser like
        "startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Choose"));"
   When we click this button, there is no exception in the logs.

What should have happened ::
>> When we pass file:// uri with normal itnent or intent with chooser FileUriExposedException should be thrown.

Please someone explain me what is causing this discrepancy when we use chooser along with intent.
