getAction() undefined because Android Intent is 'null'

[davidsalib]

When sharing a file to the app, the intent is null. Thus, I get the error Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.Intent.getAction()' on a null object reference - not sure why the intent is null. I reviewed the AndroidManifest.xml, and it seems to be correct for sharing files.

Here's the code in ReceiveSharingIntentModule.java that's sending the 'null' intent to 'sendFileNames':

  @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);
  }
