Getting IllegalArgumentException error when using aFileChooser library

Question

I have followed aFileChooser library for resume uploading. When I'm uploading a resume so I'm getting below mentioned exception. I'm getting this issue in Oreo 8.0+ devices. Might be this library is not compatible for 8.0+ devices. Is there any other solution for the same?

Please help me out.

In provider_paths.xml try to add one more path as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
    ...
    <external-path
        name="downloads"
        path="downloads" />
    ...
</paths>

And check if you're getting this erorr again.
