2 Android BeamLargeFiles Sample
3 ===================================
4
5 This sample demonstrates how to transfer large files via Android Beam. After the initial
6 handshake over NFC, file transfer will take place over a secondary high-speed
7 communication channel such as Bluetooth or WiFi Direct.

10 This feature requires Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) or above. Unlike traditional Beam,
11 your application will not receive an Intent on the receiving device. Instead, the system
12 will save the file to disk and display a notification that the user can select to open
13 the file using a standard ACTION_VIEW Intent.
