Hi!
While trying to send an e-mail using the FileProvider class, I'm getting the "Couldn't find meta-data for provider" error
in line 34 of the class:
This is what I've added to the manifest file:
AddManifestText(
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="18" />)
AddApplicationText (
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="$PACKAGE$.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"></meta-data>
</provider>
)
CreateResource(xml, provider_paths,
<files-path name="name" path="shared" />
)
and my code. I first create a list of files that the user marks as attachments to include in the message. The pl.tag is the filename in the custom list view:
I have checked that the "shared" folder is created by the FileProvider class, and the selected files are passed correctly to the class GetFileUri sub.
Please help!!
