[Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.Intent.getAction()' on a null object reference]

I'm trying to build an application that will receive shared Excel files using react native. I have used this "react-native-receive-sharing-intent" to receive files but every time I get the below message.

[Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.Intent.getAction()' on a null object reference]

I have followed each installation & configuration step mentioned in https://ajith-ab.github.io/react-native-receive-sharing-intent/docs/android.

Issue: There is one more issue with this dependency is when the app is open and then I click on a home screen & open the file manager, select the file, click on the share option & then select my app to open the file so it opens the application but I can't get new latest shared file data in ReceiveSharingIntent.getReceivedFiles() method.

I am also facing the same issue.

It's working fine for sharing text, issue is only with sharing files.

Here is the error message:
