I did the following changes to make it work again. add this entry into your Manifest.xml:

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

create a xml file(provider_paths.xml) in res/xml/ with this contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
