FileUriExposedException in Android N with Camera

[martarodriguezm]

Hi,

I have tried this library in my Nexus 6P with the preview of Android N, and it is working fine with Gallery but when selecting Camera source, it throws a FileUriExposedException.
This is the log:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com/com.mlsdev.rximagepicker.HiddenActivity}: android.os.FileUriExposedException: file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com/files/20160629_1123251566595922.jpg exposed beyond app through ClipData.Item.getUri()

targetSdkVersion 24

The reason of this error is that file:// uri scheme no more supported because the security is exposed.
Here you have the google issue: link

Ok. Will check this after release of Android N.

Apply this fix in 1.1.9

Great, I'll try, thanks!

Step 1.
Add entry of Provider in your menifest file :
<provider android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider" android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true"> <meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/> </provider>
Step 2.
create a provider_paths.xml file in xml folder under res folder. Folder may be needed to create if it doesn't exist. The content of the file is shown below. It describes that we would like to share access to the External Storage at root folder (path=".") with the name external_files.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <external-path name="external_files" path="."/> </paths>
Step 3.
The final step is to change the line of code below in
Uri photoURI = Uri.fromFile(createImageFile());
to
Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, context.getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + ".my.package.name.provider", createImageFile());
