Closed 2 years ago.
I am developing a custom camera application which captures a picture and stores it in the gallery. When I share that image using Intent.ACTION_SEND, it works absolutely fine on all devices except for devices having API 26, i.e. OREO.
My code to share the image is:
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
Uri uriShare = Uri.fromFile(outFile);
//outfile is the path of the image stored in the gallery
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriShare);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, ""));
Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
If targetSdkVersion is higher than 24, then FileProvider is used to grant access.
Create an xml file(Path: res\xml) provider_paths.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<root-path name="external_files" path="/" />
</paths>
Add a Provider in AndroidManifest.xml under
<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>
and replace
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(fileImagePath);
to
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(MainActivity.this, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider",fileImagePath);
and you are done.
Use File Provider for getting IMAGE URI and add flags to the intent... follow these steps carefully.. android.os.FileUriExposedException: file:///storage/emulated/0/test.txt exposed beyond app through Intent.getData() This update has been done since nougat..
