SUMMARY

When using Itinerary on Android, importing a ticket pdf file from an external cloud storage integrated via the "content://" protocol fails.
I think this is a regression and used to work a few months ago.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using the Android file manager, navigate to a PDF ticket file that is stored in an external content provider like Nextcloud or Seafile. I am using the default file manager on /e/OS (com.android.documentsui) which is closely related to the AOSP file manager.
2. Open the pdf with Itinerary in the intent choice dialogue.
3. Itinerary opens, the ticket is not imported. A message "Unknown error" appears.

Doing the same, but with the file copied to a local storage directory first, importing succeeds.

OBSERVED RESULT

The ticket is not imported.

EXPECTED RESULT

Ticket files from a content provider should be imported

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

I am using KDE Itinerary on Android (/e/OS 3.2). KDE Itinerary () is installed via F-Droid from the "KDE Android Release Builds" repo.
