Sharing content with React Native in Android

Share functionality will allow the users to share the content/links on various platforms like Facebook, Gmail, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc., I will show you how the share functionality works using a "Share" option from react-native. Assuming you have setup with working android app, if not you have to create a react-native app here are the steps to  Setup .       Let's create a simple component : Let's create a method for the button on press "Share" and add start adding functionality As you can see from the above code we have implemented a component that has a button and on the press, it will open a default device pop-up window as shown below. Here, as we can see it shows all the possible options to share. If the device has other apps installed, they will be shown in the above window, I am using an emulator and it does not have any other apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, etc., but in react device it will show other apps.
