can we add a share button in the bottom dialog and pass the text fields to that and share them using intent.

We can add a chip to the current Actions pane. Currently, the architecture of this app is built such that the buttons shown on the bottom dialog are created for each Action supplied. An Action (https://github.com/czlucius/code-scanner/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/czlucius/scan/objects/actions/Action.java) is supplied to a predefined Type (https://github.com/czlucius/code-scanner/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/czlucius/scan/objects/Type.java), which will be used by the bottom dialog to show the buttons

Currently, I have a Share Action ready, but the implementation is not quite polished: https://github.com/czlucius/code-scanner/blob/c00e75a83dbfb39ba0af41f232cf6ce880e6957f/app/src/main/java/com/czlucius/scan/objects/Type.java#L64

It calls data.constructShareIntent for the data type. https://github.com/czlucius/code-scanner/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/czlucius/scan/objects/actions/ShareAction.java#L42

So for the data types in https://github.com/czlucius/code-scanner/tree/main/app/src/main/java/com/czlucius/scan/objects/data, you have to override the constructShareIntent here (if a custom intent is needed, else it will just share text) Especially for the contact, Wi-Fi, geolocation intents, they are not just simple plain text intents

so we have to create intents for special cases and override the custom intent.

Yes

For contacts you have to create a VCF file and share via the content provider

Hello @czlucius can you assign this project to me so that I will try to add share button at bottom sheet.

You can come out with the code changes first, and make a PR. Afterwards, I will assign the issue.
