ShareActionProvider is null

Question

I have been searching for 3 or 4 days about a solution on this. I have tried: Null Pointer exception in using support library share action provider or why MenuItemCompat.getAct

Answer 1

You could just create a ShareActionProvider and assign it.

mShareActionProvider = new ShareActionProvider();
mShareActionProvider.setShareIntent(createShareIntent())
MenuItemCompat.setActionProvider(item, mShareActionProvider);
