Trending sort

Trending sort is based off of the default sorting method — by highest score — but it boosts votes that have happened recently, helping to surface more up-to-date answers.

It falls back to sorting by highest score if no posts are trending.

Switch to Trending sort

change your provider XML to this.

I had the very same basic situation. I defined everything correctly (files-path in xml) but there is one more thing which leads to the same exception. I add another answer just as an addition and a comment would not be well readable.

I created/read the directory where i store the files like:

This leads to a path like:

Then i changed creating the directory to:

This leads to a path like:

According to the documentation Open a directory the two methods should be equivalent as far as i understand it. But it creates a different path. Maybe the formulation is just not clear for me in the documentation, but for me its wrongly written.

Creates a new directory (or opens an existing directory) within your app’s unique file system directory. This new directory appears inside the directory provided by getFilesDir().

I think these is the right way

You can also use external-files-path (corresponding to /storage/emulated/0/com.androidapp.natty.catalogcreate/files/ directory), and then specify its Pictures directory. code shown below:

use file provider in manifest

and declare provider_path as mentioned below

It will fix the problem

I resolved this issue by moving

code to application level in manifest file.

Please consider this if your are a beginner or little confusion about fileprovider configure

Here is a case solution genuine or secure

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns path like this:

file_paths.xml looks like this (note: I also added the path defined by react-native-image-crop-picker ‘s Manifest):

My react-native use of the Share library looks this way:

I resolved as bellow, may be can help someone.

Step1: In the file app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml,

Step2: Create file provider_paths.xml at app/src/main/res/xml/
Example in my app:

Step3: Update MainApplication.java, implement ShareApplication

Example in my app:

Noted: com.ulo is my applicationId, change to your applicationId (you can check id in app/build.gradle)

Package: react-native / react-native-share / react-native-image-crop-picker

Catlc commented May 16, 2018

@vforvasile, besides what @tuananhluong posted, I added the following line to my filepaths.xml:

This seems to have fixed my issue

lucaspang commented Oct 26, 2018

I have the same problem, my file is saved at:
file:///data/user/0/com.applicationId/cache/image_manager_disk_cache/a551283a40d90aa951eb098148ed0a6423a78ec29f8df43a7fe2a79a7f85794d.0

and getting this error:
Failed to find configured root that contains /data/data/com.applicationId/cache/image_manager_disk_cache/a551283a40d90aa951eb098148ed0a6423a78ec29f8df43a7fe2a79a7f85794d.0

I have already applied all possible path in provider path and still no luck
