Unable to share text with shareOptions

[IgorAnohin]

Hi!

When I tried to share a text message on my Android phone (Redmi 6, Android 8.1) I caught the following error:

E/MethodChannel#social_share( 8354): Failed to handle method call
E/MethodChannel#social_share( 8354): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.SEND flg=0x1 clip={null T:1qEfOimGcVx2ezjL2Ea8} (has extras) }

I checked how sharing is realized in another library - share. They explicitly add text/plain type to Intent. link to the line of code

I think a possible solution is to manually assign the type if the image is null, like so: SocialSharePlugin.kt

          if(image!=null){
              //check if  image is also provided
              val imagefile =  File(registrar.activeContext().cacheDir,image)
              val imageFileUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(registrar.activeContext(), registrar.activeContext().applicationContext.packageName + ".com.shekarmudaliyar.social_share", imagefile)
              intent.type = "image/*"
              intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,imageFileUri)
          } else {
              intent.type = "text/plain";
          }

Or we may assign "text/plain" type by default and change it if image != null.

@ShekarMudaliyar What do you think about this fix? Should I open PR?

This is causing me problems as well. Is the PR being worked on?
