How to open a pdf using android_intent_plus in flutter?

I have a .pdf on download android folder, and I want to open it with flutter.

I tried:

final AndroidIntent intent = AndroidIntent(
                  action: 'android.os.Intent.ACTION_VIEW', //android.os.Intent.ACTION_VIEW  action_view
                  data: Uri.encodeFull("/storage/emulated/0/Download/myfile.pdf"), // content:// file://
                  //type: "application/*",
              flags: [
                Flag.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION,
                Flag.FLAG_GRANT_PERSISTABLE_URI_PERMISSION,
                Flag.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
              ]);
              intent.launch();

But I get the following error:
