AutoAlert opened a new issue #373: Cannot take pictures on Android 8
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/issues/373
 
 
   If I try and take a photo on a device using Android 8 with targetSDK 26, i get an error 
   
   > file:///data/user/0/{mypackage}/cache/Capture.jpg exposed beyond app through ClipData.Item.getUri()
   
   Which I believe is due to changes in how apps can access the file system from Android Nougat.  See [
   https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38200282/android-os-fileuriexposedexception-file-storage-emulated-0-test-txt-exposed](url)
   
   I am using:
   
   - 8.1.2  (cordova-lib@8.1.1)
   - android 7.1.2
   - cordova-plugin-camera 4.0.3
   - cordova-plugin-console 1.0.3
   - cordova-plugin-file 6.0.1
   
   I have tried adding the following to my AndroidManifest.xml
   
   `<provider android:authorities="com.okappy.okappy.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/camera_provider_paths" />
       </provider>`
   
   And the following to camera_provider_paths.xml
   
   `<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <external-path name="external_files" path="."/>`
   
   But I get the same error unless I change the targetSDK to a lower value.  Is this something simple i'm missing or is it a bug in the plugin?
   
   Thanks
   Richard
