Requirements

• Add to string.xml

<string name="chooser_title">Share using:</string>
<string name="file_provider">YOUR_APPLICATION_PACKAGE_NAME.fileprovider</string>

• Create a .xml file into res/xml/your_file.xml (You might need to create the res/xml folder as well)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
    <cache-path name="shared_image" path="shared_image/"/>
</paths>

• Add the previous created .xml file as provider to the AndroidManifest.xml

    <application
    // manifest application normal code
    ...
    ...
    ...

        <provider
            android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="@string/file_provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
