failed share (attach) file on android 11

failed to try to share file via fileprovider, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. mistake (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to find configured root that contains /storage/emulated/0/Download/Teste2.txt).
I tried to use the code according to the link: https: //developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/content/FileProvider and I was not successful
in the previous versions without the fileprovider it worked perfectly using Intent.EXTRA_STREAM now in the android version 11 I was unable to make it work anymore
my code down

Failed to find configured root that contains when Intent is in fragment

There are many questions and answers about this topic on the internet but unfortunately it didnt solve my problem.
I get a error every time I try to intent a Camera for a picture of video recording within my Fragment.
The path where I want to save those files are in /data/data/com.example.testing/files/*
The error that I always get is: Failed to find configured root that "contains/data/data/com.example.testing/files/test.jpg" and "Failed to find configured root that contains/data/data/com.example.testing/files/test.mp4"
The complete error log:

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.

Reading up on this question, it seems that you should be using Context.getExternalFilesDir() instead of Context.getFilesDir()` whenever you're creating the File to which to write to.
This would end up looking something like this:
private fun capturePhoto() {
val file = File(requireContext().getExternalFilesDir(null).path, "test.jpg")
val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(requireActivity(), BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID.toString() + ".provider", file)
val intent = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION)
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri)
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE)
}
BONUS: I would recommend you take a look at the MediaStore class if you're planning on making a media-oriented app. Here's an official intro for it.

FileProvider exception : IllegalArgumentException: Failed to find configured root that contains

I want to open camera, click and upload the full image to a server. For that, I'm trying to save the image to a location and then upload it from another method. I have been receiving this error in getting the fileprovider to work, and have tried various stack overflow solutions but none seem to work for me.

How can I get image Uri using File Provider?

I'm having issues with File Provider. I'm trying to get the Uri of an image I take with my phone camera. But whenever I try taking a photo, it's giving me the following error:

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can do it alternatively using Bitmap.
//The method below is opened when button is clicked you can handle in your own way
private void OpenImageChooser() {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
}
//on Activity result will give you the data when you can convert it into bitmap to show in the image view
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
Bitmap imageBitmap = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
imgAttendance.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap);
}
}
}

In AndroidMenifest.xml
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="#xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>
provider_paths.xml
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>
In OnclickListener after file create
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 24)
mImageCaptureUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(EditorActivity.this, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider", f);
else
mImageCaptureUri = Uri.fromFile(f);

Here is code snippet to get Uri from file provider.
File imageFile = createImageFile();
picUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(RegisterActivity.this , this.getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + ".provider", imageFile);
Below is file provider path
provider_paths.xml
file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="my_images" path="."/>
</paths>
Here <external-path> define that image save in external storage
And below shows how to define file provide in Manifest file.
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data

Camera intent failing

i am using this code to run a camera intent to take a photo. All being taken from HERE step by step (full sized camera option)

if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getActivity().getPackageManager()) != null) {
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
// Error occurred while creating the File
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile != null) {
Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getActivity(), "com.example.android.fileprovider", photoFile);
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
}
}
}
private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
// Create an image file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
String imageFileName = "JPEG_" + timeStamp + "_";
File storageDir = getActivity().getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File image = File.createTempFile(imageFileName, ".jpg",storageDir);
// Save a file: path for use with ACTION_VIEW intents
mCurrentPhotoPath = "file:" + image.getAbsolutePath();
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), mCurrentPhotoPath, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

A little surprising since the file "shell" is there(at this location).
I fount THIS thread but i cant understand a thing...can you explain it humanlike? Any solution is welcome! Its an important project and i need to finish as much as possible and this is a huge stop.

In your files_path.xml, you need to replace com.example.package.name with your apps package name, as explained on developers site.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="my_images" path="Android/data/com.example.terrormachine.swipeapp/files/Pictures" />
</paths>
Also add camera permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"
android:required="true" />

I think you are missing "uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="true"" in your manifest.
