Migrating to AndroidX - android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS location

Question

I am in the middle of migrating a project to AndroidX and I am blocked with an issue.

<provider     android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider" <--- Changed to X lib     android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"     android:exported="false"     android:grantUriPermissions="true">     <meta-data         android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" <---- ISSUE         android:resource="@xml/file_paths" /> </provider> 

I searched all the Internet and couldn't find a solution for this: what should I add instead of android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS for AndroidX?

Answer 1

Still the same. android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS is in the example here

Answer 2

<provider     android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"     android:authorities="com.mydomain.fileprovider"     android:exported="false"     android:grantUriPermissions="true">     <meta-data         android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"         android:resource="@xml/file_paths" /> </provider> 

For androidx, the metadata should be like this. Checkout this from android studio : https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/content/FileProvider.html
