FileProvider error onHuawei devices

Question

I have an exception that happens only on Huawei devices in my app when using FileProvider.getUriForFile:

Exception: java.lang.Illeg         


        

Answer 1

My solution to this issue right now, even if it's not perfect, is to declare my FileProvider with the following path (to be able serve all files on the device):

This is not officially documented and might break with a future version of the v4 Support library but I can't see any other solution to serve a file in the secondary external storage (often the SD card) using the existing FileProvider.
