android.support.v4.content.FileProvider not found

Question

I am trying to upgrade a working old app to support Android API 26, and one of the thing I need to use is android.support.v4.content.FileProvider - but it was not found.

Answer 1

As of AndroidX (the repackaged Android Support Library), the path is androidx.core.content.FileProvider so the updated provider tag would be:

Android Support Libraries are now in the androidx.* package hierarchy.

android.* is now reserved to the built-in Android System Libraries.
