Description

### ⚠️ Before posting ⚠️

- [X] This is a **bug**, not a question or an enhancement.
- [X] I've [searched for similar issues](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues) and didn't find a duplicate.
- [X] I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
- [X] I agree to follow Nextcloud's [Code of Conduct](https://nextcloud.com/contribute/code-of-conduct/).

### Steps to reproduce

1. Make a file available offline without having the dedicated App on your phone installed - e.g. Excel document without having Office installed on the phone.
2. Click the file - an error Dialog appears.

### Expected behaviour

The error message should read something like "No App found for this type of document"

### Actual behaviour

The error message is "This file isn't available offline. Make file "Available offline" in the file's Options menu.

First the message directs the user to a wrong cause, and second the "Available offline" menu does not exist any more.
