If target version is >= 24 then you have to use FileProvider to get the URI. — Kunu, Feb 26 '18 at 10:19

If your targetSdkVersion >= 24, then we have to use FileProvider class to give access to the particular file or folder to make them accessible for other apps.

1) First Add a FileProvider tag in AndroidManifest.xml under tag as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    ...
    <application
        ...
        <provider
            android:name=".GenericFileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.my.package.name.provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
        </provider>
    </application>
</manifest>

2) Then create a provider_paths.xml file in res/xml folder. Folder may be needed to created if it doesn't exist.

<paths>
    <external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>

3) Now edit your activity class file as below:

Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(captureFilePath);

to

Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID, captureFilePath);
