I have an app that is using ActiveAndroid and it's been working fine. However; now when I try to save a model to the database I'm getting a SecurityException.
The stack is:
Error saving model java.lang.SecurityException: Failed to find provider null for user 0; expected to find a valid ContentProvider for this authority

Has anyone else experienced this? Do we need to specify the Content Provider in the AndroidManifest.xml?
Sorry but I do not have an isolated example of this yet. I will work to put something together.
Thanks in advance
I had the exact same problem with active android on Android O. Turns out that one of the methods in my custom ContentProvider returned a
Uri
, some times it would return null and this was causing the issue. So I added the@Nullable
annotation to the method as shown below which fixed the problem.
