## SD card limitation on Android
It is not always possible to open a file from the SD Card using this plugin on Android. This is because the underlying Android library used [does not support serving files from secondary external storage devices](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40318116/fileprovider-and-secondary-external-storage). Whether or not your the SD card is treated as a secondary external device depends on your particular phone's set up.

## Notes
- For properly opening _any_ file, you must already have a suitable reader for that particular file type installed on your device. Otherwise this will not work.
