FileUriExposedException
Hi Dropbox crashes. (dump is at the end of this question) I have an app that I had developed for myself. It used to work with Dropbox untill recently. I am storing my myfile.or1 on drop...
Hi, this is not an issue with our apps. Dropbox crashes before Android even asks for which app to send it to. You can see that from ori's stack trace. It does not contain any symbol other than Android and Dropbox.
The issue is that Dropbox tries to export a Uri with a "file" scheme. If you look at the documentation for FileUriExposedException, it explains that for apps targeting N, that exception is thrown, and the app needs to be changed to export a "content" scheme. The app exporting the Uri is Dropbox. Dropbox needs to be fixed.
Hi
I appology in advance, this is my first Android app.
So it may be the case that I am 180 degrees of track.
I found a DropBox suggested implementation for a file chooser
But I ended up working around this issue:
On my phone - in DropBox - I set my folder to be 'available offline'
This reults a loacl copy of my folder on my phone at:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/u7778889/scratch/my-folder
I then use ES File Exploer to accsess my local files
with an intent-filter for files not content.
DropBox has a file chooser that I can integreate into my app:

The example works but I never integrated it with my app.
