Crash when selecting Camera

See original GitHub issue

When I open the photo picker fragment and click Camera, I immediately get the following exception:

What should I do?

I’m on Android 10 and have the following in my AndroidManifest.xml:

<provider
            android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="pl.baftek.discoverrudy.fileprovider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
        </provider>

This is file_paths.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
    <external-path
        name="Comment images"
        path="Android/data/pl.baftek.discoverrudy/files/Pictures" />
    <external-path
        name="Chili image cache"
        path="/data/data/pl.baftek.discoverrudy/cache/camera" />
</paths>

Hi Team,

I got the solution for this by implementing like below

/file_paths.xml/

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <paths> <external-path name="external_files" path="." /> <cache-path name="cache_files" path="."/> </paths>

/***** In Manifest file inside application*******/

/***** In Manifest file outside application*******/
