Building basic app and getting IllegalArgumentException: Had a Button to launch camera app where I am trying to save image to pictures. dispatchTakePictureIntent(); method is called when I click Image button

Found few similar issues but that couldn't resolve my issue:

Below is my code. Can some one help what I am missing?

public class CatalogDataActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
    public String path= Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/CatalogData";
    @Override

Use 6.0 taget sdk ?Clotildecloture
Minimum sdk 4 and I have tested it in 7.0Natality
You need give runtime permission which i give below answerClotildecloture

I think these is the right way

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
  <external-path
    name="external"
    path="." />
  <external-files-path
    name="external_files"

<files-path

You can not access the com.androidapp.natty.catalogcreate / files / Pictures directory in the root directory / storage / emulated / 0 /(external-path) directly .You need to specify its full path, that is,' Android / data / com.androidapp.natty .catalogcreate / files / Pictures'.

You can also use external-files-path (corresponding to /storage/emulated/0/com.androidapp.natty.catalogcreate/files/ directory), and then specify its Pictures directory. code shown below:

<?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.androidapp.natty.catalogcreate/files/Pictures" />
    </paths>

or:

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

or:

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

use file provider in manifest

and declare provider_path as mentioned below

    <external-path path="." name="external_storage_root" />

It will fix the problem

Does this mean we are asking for an access to the whole root folder instead of app specific folder?Stockroom

I resolved this issue by moving

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"
        android:required="true" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
        android:maxSdkVersion="18" />
    <provider
        android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="com.example.android.fileprovider"
        android:exported="false"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/file_paths"></meta-data>
    </provider>

code to application level in manifest file.

Please consider this if your are a beginner or little confusion about fileprovider configure

  • <files-path/> - internal app storage, Context#getFilesDir()
  • <cache-path/> - internal app cache storage, Context#getCacheDir()
  • <external-path/> - public external storage, Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
  • <external-files-path/> - external app storage, Context#getExternalFilesDir(null)
  • <external-cache-path/> - external app cache storage, Context#getExternalCacheDir()

Here is a case solution genuine or secure

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

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns path like this:

/storage/emulated/0

so

<external-path name="my_images" path="/" />

enough to access all file inside folder if you want some control on the folder you can change like this <external-path name="my_images" path="/b" /> .then you get only b folder, file and folder

use like this:

               intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
