android- FileProvider崩溃

问题：

This is a part of my manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.asd"
    android:versionCode="118"
    android:versionName="118" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="14"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />


    <application
        android:name="com.example.asd.AsdApplication"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:allowTaskReparenting="true"
        android:theme="@style/AsdTheme" >
        ...

        <provider
            android:name="com.example.asd.database.hq.ContentProviderDB"
            android:authorities="ourContentProviderAuthorities" >
        </provider>
        <provider
            android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="com.example.asd.fileprovider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
        </provider>

       ...
    </application>

</manifest>

This is the filepaths file in raw/xml/filepaths.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <files-path name="media"/>
</paths>

I download a video from internet and save it to internal storage this way:

public static boolean saveInputStreamToInternalStorageFile(Context context, String filename, byte[] dataToWrite, Context ctx) {
    FileOutputStream fos;
    try {
        fos = new FileOutputStream(context.getFilesDir() + File.separator + filename);

        ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
        oos.writeObject(dataToWrite);
        oos.close();
        return true;
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }
}

I try to use it like so:

private void playVideoFromDeviceWithWorkaround(String fileName) {

    File newFile = new File(getFilesDir(), fileName);
    Uri contentUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getApplicationContext(), "com.example.asd", newFile);

    try {
        vvVideoFullscreen.setVideoURI(contentUri);
        showMediaControls = true;
        playVideo();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        playVideoFromNetwork();
    }

}

At this line:

Uri contentUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getApplicationContext(), "com.example.asd", newFile); 

I get the following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.XmlResourceParser android.content.pm.ProviderInfo.loadXmlMetaData(android.content.pm.PackageManager, java.lang.String)' on a null object reference
at android.support.v4.content.FileProvider.parsePathStrategy(FileProvider.java:560)
at android.support.v4.content.FileProvider.getPathStrategy(FileProvider.java:534)
at android.support.v4.content.FileProvider.getUriForFile(FileProvider.java:376)

解决方案：

The problem was that in Manifest I had this line:

android:authorities="com.example.asd.fileprovider"

and when calling getUriForFile I was passing:

Uri contentUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getApplicationContext(), "com.example.asd", newFile); 

So changed from "com.example.asd" to "com.example.asd.fileprovider" and it worked
