title: How to add fileprovider xml file in Xamarin (Android)
body: <p>I am trying to add the xml folder and an xml file named file_path.xml to implement the Fileprovider (android). However, when I add the following (Resources/xml/file_path.xml) content the application does not start anymore.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;paths&gt;
          &lt;files-path name="files" path="."/&gt;
  &lt;/paths&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a null pointer exception as it cant read these resource. It doesnt matter whether I add the provider tag in manifest or not. I am very new in Xamarin. </p>
