android external applications are not able to access file from internal location

I am creating my file inside a temporary folder in my internal memory location. I am then sending this URI in an intent to other applications and they are not able to open the file from this location. However, if I save the file in my internal memory location and pass he internal memory URI, the file is accessible. Any help on this?

And while creating files in Intenal Memory make sure you use MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE to give access to other applications to read.

openFileOutput("myfile", MODE_WORLD_READABLE )

If you want to open the file in another application you have to store (copy) it to a public location first and then send the URI of this public location to the other application. See Data Storage.
