NoNonsense-FilePicker v4.0.0-beta1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-10-22 // over 7 years ago

  • 💥 Breaking changes

    You are now required to define a FileProvider in your manifest for the SD-card picker 101aa70

    Due to recent changes in Android 7.0 Nougat, bare File URIs can no longer be returned in a safe way. This change requires you to add an entry to your manifest to use the included FilePickerFragment and change how you handle the results.

    • You need to add the following to your app's AndroidManifest.xml:

      <providerandroid:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"android:exported="false"android:grantUriPermissions="true"> <meta-dataandroid:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"android:resource="@xml/nnf_provider_paths" /> </provider>

    • Then you must change your result handling. Here is a code snippet illustrating the change for a single result (the same applies to multiple results):

      protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) { // The URI will now be something like content://PACKAGE-NAME/root/path/to/fileUri uri = intent.getData(); // A new utility method is provided to transform the URI to a File objectFile file = com.nononsenseapps.filepicker.Utils.getFileForUri(uri); // If you want a URI which matches the old return value, you can doUri fileUri = Uri.fromFile(file); // Do something with the result...}

    This change was required in order to fix FileUriExposedException being thrown on Android 7.0 Nougat, as reported in #115 and #107.

    ⚡️ Please see the updated activity in the sample app for more examples.

    🔄 Changed

    Reading multiple selections via intent.getStringArrayListExtra(AbstractFilePickerActivity.EXTRA_PATHS) is now available for all Android versions 4fef8f8

    This field was previously only populated on versions below Android 4.3. If you target Android versions before 4.3, you can now use a single method of getting the results instead of switching based on version number.
