How can i share apk file in my app (Share the apk file of the same app)

App crashes while clicking button I made a simple app which share its apk file while clicked the button. I want to implement it in my primary app but don't know whats the error

package com.studenthelper.share;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

import java.io.File;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    Button shr;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        shr = (Button) findViewById(R.id.but);
        shr.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                ApplicationInfo api = getApplicationContext().getApplicationInfo();
                String filePath = api.sourceDir;

                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                intent.setType("application/vnd.android.package-archive");

                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
                        Uri.fromFile(new File(filePath)));
                startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share Using"));
            }
        });
    }
}

android.os.FileUriExposedException is raised for newer APIs because the file URI scheme of newer APIs is different than that of old APIs.

To solve this replace the below line of code:

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,
                    Uri.fromFile(new File(filePath)));

With:

intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, 
                    Uri.parse(filePath));
