Android:Camera Crop intent Lollipop and above giving toast message as Editing isn't supported for this image

For Cropping images taken from android phone in Lollipop and above One should use File Provider here is my code.

<provider
            android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="com.example.test.fileprovider"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true"
            android:exported="false"
            >
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/filepaths"
                />

        </provider>

<paths>
    <external-path name="myexternalimages" path="dcim/ProfileImage/"/>
</paths>





 final  Uri providedUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(ProfileUpdateActivity.this,
                    "com.example.test.fileprovider", imageUpLoadFile);
            Intent cropIntent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");



            //indicate image type and Uri
            cropIntent.setDataAndType(providedUri, "image/*");
            //set crop properties
            cropIntent.putExtra("crop", "true");
            //indicate aspect of desired crop
            cropIntent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
            cropIntent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
            //indicate output X and Y
            cropIntent.putExtra("outputX", 256);
            cropIntent.putExtra("outputY", 256);
            //retrieve data on return
            cropIntent.putExtra("return-data", true);

            // Exception will be thrown if read permission isn't granted
            cropIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

            startActivityForResult(cropIntent, PIC_CROP);

where imageUploadFile =/storage/emulated/0/dcim/ProfileImage/IMG_20160330_134823_1697877403.png (Example)

Now When it returns successfully onActivityResult it I get an error toast message as Editing this image is not available

Adding EXTRA_OUTPUT to the intent fixed it for me.

cropIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, providedUri);

But make sure to also add write uri permission to the Intent.
So that the Camera app can write the cropped image to the provided Uri.

cropIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
