Android camera intent FileUriExposedException for SDK >= 24

Question

I use this code to get a picture from camera and put it on imageview:

  private void openCamera()
{
    mMediaUri =getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);

             


        

Answer 1

Instead of return Uri.fromFile(mediaFile); do

return FileProvider.getUriForFile(MainActivity.this,
    BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider",
    mediaFile);

That would require you to add a provider to the AndroidManifest:

For AndroidX, use androidx.core.content.FileProvider

And then create a provider_paths.xml file in xml folder under res folder.
