+1 very similar error - also "No content provider" during opening of the activity from a url

Not sure if it's the same problem I'm experiencing, but I also get an app crash with "No content provider" as the error message. Here's a stacktrace:

same issue here D/Cropped Image: Dropped ImageURI Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to load sampled bitmap: /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Facebook/FB_IMG_1529141386464.jpg No content provider: /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Facebook/FB_IMG_1529141386464.jpg V/FA: Activity resumed, time: 5009497

The uri parameter requires a file:// infront of the image path. Use this to convert into a uri before passing it into the CropImageActivity .

Uri.fromFile(new File(IMAGE_PATH))

[HBiSoft]

An even better solution would be:

public Uri myUri(Uri originalUri){
    Uri returnedUri = null;
    if (originalUri.getScheme() == null){
        returnedUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(camUri.getPath()));
        // or you can just do -->
        // returnedUri = Uri.parse("file://"+camUri.getPath());
    }else{
        returnedUri = originalUri;
    }
    return returnedUri; 
}

Then you can call the above like this:

CropImage.activity(myUri(imageUri))
 .start(this);

or if you have a path as a String:

CropImage.activity(myUri(Uri.parse(pathAsString)))
 .start(this);

I say this is a better way because you do not know if the image comes from a content:// scheme or a file:// scheme.
