My Problem: When openFile() intent attempts StartActivityForResult, the application hangs with a blank screen and circular cursor. The file(s) are stored to app.

What I have done: Before and after this issue I researched how to open files by use of Intents. I found a number of similar but different approaches and either used the literal example or a combination of various examples to see if I could find and resolve the issue (see some below). I'm not receiving any type of error message that I have found, and I had the FileUriExposedException previously but resolved it. These files are stored to the app and it may be a permissions issue and have tried what I know, including updating the manifest with for External Read and Write and added a flag setting on the intent for access.

What I'm trying to do: I'm trying to learn how to open files through intents with simple JPG images, then eventually expand to opening various file types after I understand how to do so.

Below is the current code I'm using and it included a MimeTypeMap that I tried in place of "image/jpeg" in case my syntax was not correct on the MIME Type, which did not seem to have an impact.
