[Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.Intent.getAction()' on a null object reference] share ext error

[davidsalib]

I've narrowed down that in the Java code, the Intent is coming through as null. Thus "getAction()" or "getType()" fail. I tried revising the AndroidManifest to make sure the intent if being passed through properly, but that didn't help. Also tried modifying the Java code with the PR above (#42), but that didn't work either.

The issue is in this code block:

@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
  @ReactMethod
  public void getFileNames(Promise promise){
    Activity mActivity = getCurrentActivity();
    if(mActivity == null) { return; }
    Intent intent = mActivity.getIntent();
    receiveSharingIntentHelper.sendFileNames(reactContext, intent, promise);
    mActivity.setIntent(null);
  }

Any ideas?

Same here, it seems for the initial call there is no intent object, so you can check if it´s not null.

  @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
  @ReactMethod
  public void getFileNames(Promise promise){
    Activity mActivity = getCurrentActivity();
    if(mActivity == null) { return; }
    Intent intent = mActivity.getIntent();
    if(intent == null) { return; }
    receiveSharingIntentHelper.sendFileNames(reactContext, intent, promise);
    mActivity.setIntent(null);
  }
