Description

So I got java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: src.length=1 srcPos=0 dst.length=256 dstPos=-5 length=1 error when opening remote (SFTP) files with apps other than Material Files

How to reproduce:
  1. Open Material files.
  2. Setup remote SFTP file storage if you havent done so.
  3. Open any file inside the remote storage.
    Video: https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles/assets/169248210/a5b1aff2-db5d-41dd-8b4d-2b23e913373a

If the file is opened with Material Files (eg. Photo viewer, Text editor), it works
But if i open it in apps other than Material Files (in the video below i choose Xed, but it can be any app), it will throw error like i mentioned above

The only way to fix the error is to restart the app (remove it from recent apps, then manually relaunch)

I'm using latest version 1.7.2 arm64 from play store

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the listed SFTP steps and trace how Material Files opens a remote file in an external app. Compare that path with opening the same file in Material Files; done means external apps can open remote files without the reported exception and internal viewers continue to work.
