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

I replaced it with the newer version, which is : androidx.core.content.FileProvider

This worked for me.

Answer 2

add compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0' to build.gradle file in app module.

Answer 3

Change to

public class FileProvider extends androidx.core.content.FileProvider {
}

Answer 4

Using the following commands solved my issue:

npm install jetifier --save
npx jetify
npx cap sync

Answer 5

for androidx

<provider
    android:name="androidx.core.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>

Answer 6

Instead of

import android.support.v4.content.FileProvider;

Try importing

import androidx.core.content.FileProvider;
