sharing data to other apps not working in higher version

Question

In my app, I am sharing my videos to another app, it works fine on older version devices but not working in higher versions more than 5.0 (marshmallow). I am doing this in a fragment.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

This is my code

holder.thumbnail.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
            sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
            sendIntent.setType("video/*");
            sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(currentFile));
            activity.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Share to"));
        }
    });

Try using ShareCompat.IntentBuilder:

Intent shareIntent =   ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(YourActivity.this)
                                                    .setChooserTitle("Share to")
                                                    .setType("video/*")
                                                    .setStream(Uri.fromFile(currentFile))
                                                    .getIntent();
                            if (shareIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null){
                                startActivity(shareIntent);
                            }
