Write a photo taken from camera using MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE to external storage on Android 11

1.4k views Asked by At

I'm trying to take a photo using Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE) and save it to the external cache. Before starting the Activity I ask for CAMERA, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions. The code example of the Intent creation below:

private Intent createIntent() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    Uri resultUri = null;
    File path = context.getExternalCacheDir();
    if (path != null && !path.exists() && !path.mkdirs()){
          return null;
    }
    File file = new File(path.getPath(), "resultImage.jpeg");
    if (path != null) {
       resultUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(
       context,
       context.getPackageName() + ".provider",
       file);
    }
    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, resultUri);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
    return intent;
}

On devices running with Android 10 and lower it works fine but on Android 11 I'm getting this error and receive RESULT_CANCELED or just crash in the Camera app.

My File Provider:

        <provider
            android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
        </provider>

and provider path's:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
    <cache-path name="cache" path="/"/>
    <external-cache-path name="external_cache" path="/"/>
</paths>

I also tried to use getExternalFilesDir instead of cache but got the same error.
