You cannot share a 'Card' to other Apps, however you share a Bitmap (Screenshot) of the Card...

Here's how to do it -
Create a method like below -

public Bitmap ViewShot(View v)
int height = v.getHeight();
int width = v.getWidth();
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas c = new Canvas (b);
v.layout(0, 0 , v.getLayoutParams().width, v.getLayoutParams().height);
v.draw(c);
return b;



Pass the CardView in the View parameter of ViewShot like -

Bitmap screenshot = ViewShot(myCardView);


Now you can save that Bitmap to a Temp file & share it with other app!

Create an image and sent it via intent. An easy way to create a bitmap of a view is to create a bitmap object with width and height equal to that of the view, create a Canvas for that bitmap, and call the view's onDraw function passing in that Canvas. That will make the View draw itself to the Bitmap.

If you want to share specific data of that card, my suggestion is Firebase Dynamic Links. I think this is what you are looking for. You can create a dynamic link for specific page of your app and share the link via whatever you want.
