Android SDK android-support-v4.jar

Question

I tried to use FileProvider in my apk and got an error "FileProvider cannot be resolved".

According to the official documentation of FileProvider https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/content/FileProvider.html

I added import android.support.v4.content.FileProvider;

as a result I got one more error "import android.support cannot be resolved" After some googling I found that I need android-support-v4.jar and it should be in /sdk/extras/android/support/v4/

But, I don't have .../sdk/extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar

I tried to get extras by sdk Manager cd android-sdks/tools ./android sdk But it has not downloaded sdk/extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar

So, here is twwo questions 1. In which way my code (with FileProvider) should be built? 2. What had happened with android-support-v4.jar?

Answer 1

Add below dependency to build.gradle file.

dependencies{
     //......
     compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.0.0'
}
