Actual behaviour

After clicking on an .ics file its content is being presented as the raw text.

Expected behaviour

The app should let the user decide, if he wants to open the file with a fitting app and not show the text (preview).
It should become the same behaviour like when opening e.g. a .mp3 or .pdf.

Reason why

Viewing the text source of the calendar file is an uncommon use-case.
Everybody will try to view or import their calendar files with an appropriate app.
So many users need to click on the file in order to get it downloaded first, because else the "open with" dialog wouldn't be available.
After that you need to tap "back", to get out of the text preview. Finally you can click the three dots to open the context menu and open the "open with dialog" and use your calendar app.

Environment data

Android version: 8.0.0
