                        .path(fileUri.getPath())
                        .authority(fileUri.getAuthority())
                        .scheme(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)
                        .build();
            } else {
                uri = getUriForFile(context, "com.myapp.fileprovider", new File(fileUri.getPath()));
            }
