Sharing Content (Android Development Patterns S2 Ep 6)

Read the blog post: https://medium.com/google-developers/sharing-content-between-android-apps-2e6db9d1368b

Sharing is kind of a big deal, but ShareCompat (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/app/ShareCompat.html) makes it straightforward to share text, HTML text, files, and images. FileProvider (developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/content/FileProvider.html) makes it possible to share files and images without the storage permissions using URI based permissions.
