NullPointerException on OnePlus3 Oreo

[Ruben2112]

I'm getting a crash on my device when I try this library, even when using the sample app available on the play store. I think it has something to do with Oreo because I'm pretty sure it worked before.

Same, having the same issue since I updated from 1.2.0 to 1.2.2.
Reason of updating, having crashes on targetSdkVersion 24>
But the issue was solved in https://github.com/Mariovc/ImagePicker/issues/39

I am using 1.2.2, he says it's fixed in that version, but I'm still getting the same error.

I had the same issues and looked at the file providers. had to add the following code my the manifest

<provider android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider" android:authorities="com.mvc.imagepicker.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true" tools:replace="android:authorities"> <meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/file_paths" tools:replace="android:resource"/> </provider>

file_paths.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <paths> <external-cache-path name="img" path="/" /> </paths> </resources>
I hope it can help someone else.

Add this to the application tag of your Android Manifest:

        <provider
            android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="com.mvc.imagepicker.provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true"
            tools:replace="android:authorities">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"
                tools:replace="android:resource"/>
        </provider>
