Solves issue murraycu#30. Previously, there were permission problems from trying to share the image to image sharing apps, according to the issue tracker. The following changes were made: FileProvider class is defined in AndroidManifest, along with the required meta-data and associated files (a string was added to strings.xml for the provider authority). This is apparently required for sharing streams in Android M and above. Temporary file of the image is written to keep track of exact file location, as well as have a temporary cache of previously shared images. This is done in an AsyncTask that is defined at the bottom of SubjectFragment and executed in the updateShareIntent method. In devices with Android M or above, explicit permission to write and read images is obtained if not already provided. The FileProvider class is used to create the URI that will eventually be sent in the intent. An intent flag is added for purposes of magic (I'm not really sure what it does, but it works). In the limited use case of trying to share images, this code works. Additional changes might be required to distinguish text from image intents to share, because the code right now will set the share intent to an image type if mUriImageRemote is not null.

Please squash these into one commit. |

Could you do that, please? |

Absolutely. Sorry, I've been busy recently but I'll try to squash the changes into one commit within the next 24 hours. |

Hey, I've attempted to squash the commits into one, but they're still showing as 6 commits ahead on my branch. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. |
|
Thanks, but this is indeed a mess. I will try to pick the useful parts out of this. |
|
OK. I have now pushed a commit with your changes, including some minor cleanup. To do that, I did this.
Thanks. |
|
This is the commit: 863c54e |
|
Alright, thank you for cleaning it up for me, I'm actually not very experienced with git. Glad we could work together to fix that issue, and I'll rebase to your master |
|
If in doubt, I create a new branch and cherry-pick commits into. If even that doesn't work then I "git format-patch HEAD~10" and apply the patches manually. I "git rebase -i HEAD~10" to squash commits together. |
|
For now, I have reverted this change: We should push the change again when we have resolved this problem, maybe with an extra commit. Here is the commit message for the original commit, which we could reuse: |

Ah that's true. I can think of a solution to the problem but I'll have to
sit down and implement and test it on my end. I'll look into it this week.
