Android 13(sdk 33) has introduced a new PhotoPicker that provides a better way to let the user pick photos in apps but it has some limits.
Now it's possible to get the uri when you select a photo(or photos) but when I want to re-open that uri with Intent.ACTION_VIEW it doesn't work and only opens the google photos app and I have not been able to find a solution for this. The only thing that I found was this link that explains that PhotoPicker URIs are different from other ones and there's a limited set of things that you can do with them. Also here's what google document says if it add any more context:
Specifically, picker URIs can only be opened for read and queried for columns in PickerMediaColumns
So I need to know if there's a way to open a photo in photo gallery useing PhotoPicker uri or if it's entirely impossible. I'll be glad if you share your thoughts.
