Unable to open file in Android

[moonfoan]

I'm trying to open a pdf document with FileView.open(filePath) and the filePath is like /data/user/0/com.myapp.dev/attachments/Copies/my_doc.pdf (in Android)

The codes work perfectly fine in iOS, but it is failing in Android and throwing the following error:
Failed to find configured root that contains /data/data/com.myapp.dev/attachments/Copies/my_doc.pdf.
It is failing in this particular line in the RNFileViewerModule.java file from my bebugging:
contentUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(currentActivity, authority, newFile);

Here's some additional infomation:

• I have verified that the original file path exists, and I can open it in webview just fine.
• I have granted WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to my app
• App is on React Native 0.76.6
• Testing on Android 11
• I have added thequeries tag in the AndroidManifest.xml as suggested in the documentation:

<manifest ...>
  <queries>
    <intent>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
      <data android:mimeType="*/*"/>
    </intent>
  </queries>
  <application...>
     ........
  </application>
</manifest>

I have no idea why it is looking into /data/data/ directory instead of the given /data/user/ directory. Any suggestion to resolve this error?
