No permission for UID to access URI error on Android Application

Question

I am building a simple app to select an image or take one from camera and crop it. However, it is throwing me this error

java.lang.SecurityException: Uid 100         


        

Answer 1

Try this out:

Android Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS" />

Get image by URI

i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, CHOOSE_IMAGE);

This forces the older gallery to open.

Now you can get the result on your onActivityResult with:

Uri selectedImageURI = data.getData();
