I was trying to find workaround for taking pictures from picase and got the same exception
Then I found the lib and it crashes too

Detailed message says
Permission Denial: opening provider com.android.gallery3d.provider.GalleryProvider from ProcessRecord{40fe4f08 19199:drug.vokrug/u0a10153} (pid=19199, uid=10153) requires com.google.android.gallery3d.permission.GALLERY_PROVIDER or com.google.android.gallery3d.permission.GALLERY_PROVIDER

However setting the permission does not help

Looks like a bug on Android:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=47741

But, will have a look at it.

@kurganec Could you check this solution and see if it works? I can't reproduce the problem on my phone. See the answer with the most upvotes.

@coomar2841 there is no way I can set singleTask on my activity.

[coomar2841]

Hmm... Does this happen only on this particular device? Or you can reproduce on other devices/oses as well? I would need to reproduce this problem on one of my devices, and then I could look into a workaround. I have a Nexus S running 4.2.2 and a Galaxy Nexus on 4.3

Guys, have you found a solution for this issue as I am facing the same problem when I am trying to share a file into my app using gallery app. I don't have "singleTask" in my manifest.

Still no solution

Only possible solutions that I can think of are:

1. The easy solution: add those permissions . not sure why it doesn't work for me.
2. the hard solution: save the needed data somewhere (depends on what you need), and also have a fallback to reading from files paths.
   I'm not sure, but maybe you don't even need to get the metadata (orientation etc...) , and using the ExifInterface is enough (depending if it works and what are your needs).

I think one way to test it is by taking an image from Picasa, using a Uri. the first few times you access it, it will work fine, but soon afterwards, you have a good chance of getting an exception.

This should be fixed now. Please check and re-open if it's still an issue.
