.mcworld files with an ampersand in their name won't import when opened.
Tested on a Nexus 6P running Android 8.1.
To reproduce:
rename a .mcworld file to "test&case.mcworld"
select the renamed mcworld file in a file manager, and select Minecraft to start the import
Minecraft opens
Expected: Minecraft then pops up the "Importing level" banner and imports the .mcworld file
Actual: nothing happens; Minecraft enters the title screen without importing the level.
