[Enhancement]: Remove a lot of providers from the Manifest.

[isabsent]

You have a lot of 'providertags inManifest` as:

    <provider
        android:name="dev.dworks.apps.anexplorer.provider.NonMediaDocumentsProvider"
        android:authorities="${applicationId}.nonmedia.documents"
        android:exported="true"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true"
        android:permission="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENT">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="dev.dworks.apps.anexplorer.action.DOCUMENTS_PROVIDER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </provider>

with the only difference in android:authorities="${applicationId}.nonmedia.documents". I suppose you can combine most of them under one provider tag with

    <meta-data
         android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
         android:resource="@xml/file_provider_paths"/>

specifying all needed path in file_provider_paths.

@isabsent hello, sorry for commenting here.
I went through your answer at 'google/ExoPlayer#4212 (comment)' for feeding byte array to Exoplayer.
But as a new to android, I'm unable to understand and implement it. Can you help me with it?

Hi!
The answer you link is concerned with how to use ExoPlayer when you haven't a source like byte[], File or ByteBuffer where random access to the source is available. You have an InputStream (not FileInputStream or ByteArrayInputStream) and want to play media from it. If you have a byte[] as a source, the problem is disappear. What is a task you a trying to solve?

Thanks for your reply. I'm getting data dynamically as array of bytes from an event. So how would you proceed with it?

If you already have your data as a byte[] to the moment you are going to send it to ExoPlayer, you can envelop your byte[] in the ByteArrayDataSource and create a MediaSource from it:

public MediaSource createMediaSourceFromByteArray(byte[] bytes) {
    ByteArrayDataSource byteArrayDataSource = new ByteArrayDataSource(bytes);
    DataSource.Factory factory = new DataSource.Factory() {

        @Override
        public DataSource createDataSource() {
            return byteArrayDataSource;
        }
    };
    MediaSource mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource.Factory(factory)
            .setExtractorsFactory(new DefaultExtractorsFactory())
            .createMediaSource(Uri.EMPTY);
    return Objects.requireNonNull(mediaSource, "MediaSource cannot be null");
}

Then, you can set above MediaSource to ExopLayer:

MediaSource byteArrayMediaSource = createMediaSourceFromByteArray(bytes);
exoPlayer.prepare(byteArrayMediaSource);

Thanks, I will try this.
