<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> The constants {@link

android.content.Context#MODE_WORLD_READABLE} and {@link

android.content.Context#MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE} have been deprecated since API level 17. Since

API level 24 their use will result in a {@link java.lang.SecurityException} to be thrown.

This means that apps targeting API level 24 and higher

cannot share private files by name, and attempts to share a "file://" URI will result in a

{@link android.os.FileUriExposedException} to be thrown. If your app needs to share private

files with other apps, it may use a {@link android.support.v4.content.FileProvider} with

the {@link android.content.Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION}.

<p class="note">

<strong>Note:</strong> Before API level 24, internal files could be made accessible to other

apps by means of relaxing file system permissions. This is no longer the case. If you wish

to make the content of a private file accessible to other apps, your app may use the

{@link android.support.v4.content.FileProvider}. See <a

href="{@docRoot}training/secure-file-sharing/index.html">Sharing Files</a>.</p>
