I spent almost a day trying to figure out why I was getting this exception. After lots of struggle, this config worked perfectly (Kotlin):
AndroidManifest.xml
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="com.lomza.moviesroom.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
</provider>
file_paths.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
<files-path name="movies_csv_files" path="."/>
</paths>
Intent itself
fun goToFileIntent(context: Context, file: File): Intent {
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
val contentUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "${context.packageName}.fileprovider", file)
val mimeType = context.contentResolver.getType(contentUri)
intent.setDataAndType(contentUri, mimeType)
intent.flags = Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION or Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION
return intent
}
I explain the whole process here.
