Sharing an audio file using intent

This is my code: 

Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
share.setType("audio/*");
share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///"+filePath));
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Share Sound File"));

Problem : For some reason, when I checked today this code on nexus 5X API 26 emulator, the app crashes whereas on my Xperia z5 premium(api 25) it works like a charm.

Is there a chance this code not compatible with the new api?

The problem is already mentioned in the logcat. android.os.FileUriExposedException: file:////storage/emulated/0/CallRecordings/24.08.2017 02-32-19 PM.m4a exposed beyond app through ClipData.Item.getUri()

There are two ways to solve this problem.

  1. Put the following code

    StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder(); StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());

in Application.onCreate().

we will simply change the VmPolicy by the above method. In this way VM will ignore the exposure URI exposure. Default method is 

builder.detectFileUriExposure()

which checks the file for exposure.

  1. Instead of file:// try using content:// In later android version starting from 24 we have to use FileProvider class so that the files are accessible for other apps as well.

I hope it helps, For more on converting from file:// to content://
