title: android.support.v4.content.FileProvider class not found in android Kitkat
body: <p>I am using <code>FileProvider</code> in my app. As usual I declared <code>&lt;Provider&gt;</code> tag in <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code> file as below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;provider
          android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
          android:authorities="com.jk.android.fileprovider"
          android:exported="false"
          android:grantUriPermissions="true"&gt;
          &lt;meta-data
              android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
              android:resource="@xml/file_paths" /&gt;
  &lt;/provider&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run it on android device which has <code>lollipop</code> version it works fine. when I try it on <code>kitkat</code> version it shows following errors:</p>
