Mediaplugin: App crashing on "TakePhotoAsync" Call

[Furqanali30]

Bug Information

My App is crashing when it calls "TakePhotoAsync" function. I call "CrossMedia.Current.IsCameraAvailable" & "CrossMedia.Current.IsTakePhotoSupported" before it and both returns correct result. "CrossMedia.Current.PickPhotoAsync" works fine in my device.

Version Number of Plugin:3.1.3
Device Tested On: Samsung S6 Edge (Android 7.0-Api24)
Simulator Tested On: Android 4.4 -Api19
Version of VS: 2015
Version of Xamarin: 4.5
Versions of other things you are using:

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

Click on Camera button, it calls (CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync) and App crashes.

Expected Behavior

Open Camera

Actual Behavior

App crashes

Code snippet

 await CrossMedia.Current.Initialize();


                if (!CrossMedia.Current.IsCameraAvailable || !CrossMedia.Current.IsTakePhotoSupported)
                {
                    await DisplayAlert("No Camera", ":( no camera availible.", "Ok");
                    return;
                }

                var file = await Plugin.Media.CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync(

                    new StoreCameraMediaOptions
                    {
                        Directory = "Images",
                        Name = DateTime.Now + "_test.jpg"

                    });

                if (file == null)
                {
                    return;
                }

                //PathLabel.Text = file.AlbumPath;
                ImageBar.Source = ImageSource.FromStream(() =>
                {
                    var stream = file.GetStream();
                    file.Dispose();
                    return stream;
                });

I am getting crash on TakePhotoAsync as well. Not sure if it is the same problem as the OP. Here is the crash dump from appcenter:
My calling code is the same as the sample in this project.
Thank you.

@NoleHealth this is because you didn't setup the file provider: https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/MediaPlugin#android-current-activity-setup

[NoleHealth]

I thought I did but perhaps I have something incorrect. Thanks!

[bezblue]

oh! work!
is because you didn't setup the file provider:

[NoleHealth]

@jamesmontemagno I had the provider tag outside of my application tag! Thanks again!
