SfPdfViewer crashes on Android

[Mauro]

Hi, 

I'm using Xamarin.Forms for my Application.
In particular, this app downloades pdf in background and stores it in Device Storage.

This is my code: 

  switch (Device.RuntimePlatform)

               {        

                    case Device.Android:

                        MemoryStream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(filePath));

                        this.pdfViewerControl.InputFileStream = MemoryStream;

                        break;

                    case Device.UWP:

                        if (LoadedFileStream != null) LoadedFileStream.Close();

                        LoadedFileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open);

                        this.pdfViewerControl.LoadDocument(LoadedFileStream);

                        break;

                }

It works for UWP, but crashes for Android.

Where am I doing wrong? 

Thanks for your work

I use a Huawei MediaPad M5. Android 9 , but happens with every device, emulated or none.

The app crashes with every pdf. In my application I download also zip file with html and css that I could open from a webview. The same pdf works fine with uwp.

The file is stored in "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.companyname.MyApp/files/Documents/1553523980947FILE_FILE_3256.pdf" that exists correctly. (Other types of file are downloaded in the same directory and I correctly use them in my app)

Xamarin Forms Version:   v4.0.30319 

SfpdfViewer Version : 17.2451.0.28 

You can find a log file attached.

Thanks for your work
