android.support.v4.content.FileProvider not found
Solution 1
add compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0'
to build.gradle file in app module.
Solution 2
As of AndroidX (the repackaged Android Support Library), the path is androidx.core.content.FileProvider
so the updated provider tag would be:
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
</provider>
Android Support Libraries are now in the androidx.*
package hierarchy.
android.*
is now reserved to the built-in Android System Libraries.
Solution 3
Instead of
import android.support.v4.content.FileProvider;
Try importing
import androidx.core.content.FileProvider;
Solution 4
I replaced it with the newer version, which is : androidx.core.content.FileProvider
This worked for me.
Solution 5
Using the following commands solved my issue:
npm install jetifier --save
npx jetify
npx cap sync

I am trying to upgrade a working old app to support Android API 26, and one of the thing I need to use is android.support.v4.content.FileProvider - but it was not found.
<provider android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider" android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true"> <meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/file_paths" /> </provider>
Due to the early Android build, the gradle file seems simple. Is it as simple as adding a dependency? I have look around and some suggested adding a multidex which I don't understand. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
