Here's my code:

try {
        uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context,

                imageFile);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        CLog.d(TAG, e);
        uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFile);
    }

I don't know why, but it's working, the FileProvider can't access the file (As it's in secondary external storage) and then the uri is created successfully in the catch clause.

Weird Google...very weird.
