plugin.media error

Question

I’m trying to use the Media Plugin for Xamarin and Windows with the Visual Studio Community 2017. An android app that should have the ability to take some photos.

I followed the following guidelines:

In Resources, you added a folder called 'xml' and within it I created a file by name file_paths.xml with the following code:

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

Then I opened the file AndroidManifest.xml and added the following code:

<application android:label="ReporOnLine.Android">
    <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>     
    </application>

In the Assemblyinfo.Cs file I added:

[assembly: UsesFeature("android.hardware.camera", Required = false)]
[assembly: UsesFeature("android.hardware.camera.autofocus", Required = false)]

When I try to debug the application using the Genymotion with Google Nexus 4 - 5.0.0 API 21, or Meno on my smartphone, generates the error as per attached image.

I’d appreciate it if someone could help me.

Answer 1

Replaces the following line:

android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider" 

for

android:authorities="com.companyname.ReporOnLine.fileprovider"

I cleaned the solution and recompiled, everything worked perfectly.
