Error when accessing Android`s storage: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:

I get this error when trying to access app's storage (tried both- private and shared). I tried adding file:// but it doesn`t seem to help.

            String path = getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath() + File.separator + BUNDLE_NAME; // /data/user/0/com.package.vpn/files/rn.bundle
            File file2 = new File(path);

            if (file2 != null && file2.exists()) {
                try {

                    mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
                            .setApplication(getApplication())
                            .setCurrentActivity(currentActivity)
                            .setJSBundleFile(path) // accessing internal storage
                            .addPackages(packages)
                            .setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
                            .setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
                            .build();
                } catch (Exception e2) { }

error:

The file does load as expected(without adding 'file://') but the error keeps happening.

You are missing setJSMainModulePath("index")
