<p>
This sample demonstrates how to transfer large files via Android Beam. After the initial
handshake over NFC, file transfer will take place over a secondary high-speed
communication channel such as Bluetooth or WiFi Direct.
\n\nThis feature requires Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) or above. Unlike traditional Beam,
your application will not receive an Intent on the receiving device. Instead, the system
will save the file to disk and display a notification that the user can select to open
the file using a standard ACTION_VIEW Intent.
