I looked at all the answers on StackOverflow and there no answer for me.

Same error for real device and emulators.

Fileprovider always throws IllegalArgumentException

There is Manifest

<application
 ...

 <provider
 android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
 android:grantUriPermissions="true"
 android:exported="false"
 android:authorities="$applicationId">
 <meta-data
 android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
 android:resource="@xml/filepath"/>
 </provider>

</application>

There is filepath.xml

<paths>
<files-path
 name="logs"
 path="logs/" /></paths>

And there is code which always throw exception

 final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
 emailIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

 File file = new File(logger.getFileName());
 Uri uri = null;
 try 
 uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID, file);
 catch (IllegalArgumentException e) 
 e.printStackTrace();
 

logger.getFileName() - returns real file name for example: "logs_22032019.txt"

What I already tried:
Changes in Manifest such as:
android:authorities="com.realname.of.package"
Changes in filepath.xml

name="logs"

• 
  

  1) same name of file 2) just /

  
  
  

  path="logs/"

  
  



• 1) . 2) / 3) full path 4) files 5) /files 6) files/ e.t.g

What I'm noted - there is really the path of files:

/data/user/0/com.app.realname/files/log.txt

But FileProvider in it goes to:

"log.txt" -> "/data/data/com.app.realname/files/log.txt"-->

NOTE: I need only INTERNAL storage.

logger.getFileName() - returns real file name for example: "logs_22032019.txt"

That is not a valid filesystem path. It is a valid filename, but it does not say where that file is supposed to be on the device.

This is your FileProvider configuration:

<files-path
 name="logs"
 path="logs/" />

For that, a File that would work is:

File file = new File(getFilesDir(), "logs/"+logger.getFileName());

there is really the path of files... But FileProvider in it goes to

Those are the same filesystem location, for the primary device user.
