R ronell Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 19, 2018 #1 i have this code to install apk but after i change the target sdk = 26 in manifest this code fails( FileUriExposedException error)... is there a sample code using file provider to access apk file in external storage and install? Code: Copy Dim iIntent As Intent iIntent.Initialize(iIntent.ACTION_VIEW, "file://" & File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal, "myapp.apk")) iIntent.SetType("application/vnd.android.package-archive") StartActivity(iIntent) thanks Ronell

You may find a link there - Read and understand the FileProvider examples/tutorials. Once you understand how it works then it should be easy to adapt your code to use fileProvider.
