I'm trying to use the Media Plugin for Xamarin and Windows with the Visual Studio Community 2017 . An android app that should have the ability to take some photos.
I followed the following guidelines:
In Resources, you added a folder named 'xml'
and inside it I created a file by name file_paths.xml
with the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<files-path name="my_images" path="images/"/>
<files-path name="my_docs" path="docs/"/>
</paths>
Then I opened the file AndroidManifest.xml
and added the following code:
<application android:label="ReporOnLine.Android">
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />
</provider>
</application>
In the AssemblyInfo.cs file I added:
[assembly: UsesFeature("android.hardware.camera", Required = false)]
[assembly: UsesFeature("android.hardware.camera.autofocus", Required = false)]
When I try to debug the application using Genymotion with Google Nexus 4 - 5.0.0 API 21 , or less on my smartphone, it generates the error as attached image.
Thank you if anyone can help me.
