Send .apk from android code Intent Error [closed]

I want to send .apk file. but i am not able to send it via bluetooth or wifi-direct or any other way.

i have tried everything. i can easily send through e-mail but that too not via Intents but through Mail API.

please find below my Code.

public void sendIntent(int x) throws Exception{
        Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
        sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, appnametosend);
        sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, getApplicationPath(x));
        sendIntent.setType("application/vnd.android.package-archive");


        startActivity(sendIntent);
    }

Below is my logCat:

Please Help.

First, setType() takes a MIME type. A path is not a MIME type.

Second, you would need to use EXTRA_STREAM to send a binary attachment.

Third, I would not assume that other apps are necessarily capable of reading the APK from getApplicationPath(x).
