Edit: FileProvider is included as an internal library now.
After investigating several issues with the current FileProvider code that you can find in the forum, I decided to make some improvements and implement it in a class.
Starting from Android 7 (API 24) you cannot directly share file uris with other applications. You need to use FileProvider.
The FileProvider class should work on all Android versions (4+).
Instructions:
1. Add a reference to FileProvider library.
2. Add to the manifest editor:
files-path = File.DirInternal
Current version: 1.00
