Can't send email with PDF file as attatchment in Android

Question

I am displaying my files in a recyclerview, the goal is to be able to send them in an email as an implicit intent when clicked, so the user does not have to do this manually by pulling them from the external storage.

However, when I attempt to do this my app crashes, with no error messages.. Here is my main activity that fetches the file path and attempts to send it, the code that does this specifically is in the sendAsMail and OnItemClick methods

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class FileView extends AppCompatActivity {

    private RecyclerView fileRecyclerView;
    private RowAdapter fileAdapter;
    private RecyclerView.LayoutManager fileLayoutManager;
    private ArrayList<RowItem> rowItem;
    private List<File> fileList;
    private final String filePath = "PDF_files";
    private String fileData = "";


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_file_view);
        File file = new File(getExternalFilesDir(filePath).toString());
        fileList = Arrays.asList(file.listFiles());
        createRows();
        buildRecyclerView();
    }

    public void createRows(){
        rowItem = new ArrayList<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < fileList.size(); i++) {
            rowItem.add(new RowItem(R.drawable.ic_book,(fileList.get(i).getName().replace("__", " ").replace('_','\n').replace('-','/').replace(".pdf",""))));
        }
    }

    public void removeItem(int position) {
        rowItem.remove(position);
        fileAdapter.notifyItemRemoved(position);
    }

    public void reListFiles(){
        File file = new File(getExternalFilesDir(filePath).toString());
        fileList = Arrays.asList(file.listFiles());
    }

    public void sendAsMail(String file) {

        Intent shareIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        shareIntent.setType("application/pdf");

        shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Sample Subject"); //set your subject
        shareIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Sample Text"); //set your message

        String filePath = file;
        File fileToShare = new File(filePath);
        Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(fileToShare);
        shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share File"));
    }


    public void buildRecyclerView() {

        fileRecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
        fileRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
        fileLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        fileAdapter = new RowAdapter(rowItem);
        fileRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(fileLayoutManager);
        fileRecyclerView.setAdapter(fileAdapter);

        fileAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(new RowAdapter.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(int position) {
                fileData = fileList.get(position).toString();
            //    Toast.makeText(FileView.this,"Clicked: " + fileData , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                sendAsMail(fileData);
            }

            @Override
            public void onDeleteClick(int position) {
                removeItem(position);

                File deletePath = fileList.get(position);
                deletePath.delete();
                if(deletePath.exists()){
                    getApplicationContext().deleteFile(deletePath.getName());
                }
                reListFiles();
            }

            @Override
            public void onMenuClick(int position) {
            }
        });
    }
}

EDITED with suggested solution

My sendAsMail method

   private void sendEmail(File attatchedFile, String name) {

        //File pdfFile = attatchedFile;
        File pdfFile = attatchedFile;
        Log.v("sendEmail STARTED: ","attatched file vaariable saved as File:  " + pdfFile);

        // Write data in your file
        Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, getPackageName(), pdfFile);

        Intent intent = ShareCompat.IntentBuilder.from(this)
                .setStream(uri) // uri from FileProvider
                .getIntent()
                .setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW) //Change if needed
                .setDataAndType(uri, "pdf/*")
                .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

        startActivity(intent);
    }

Calling the method in the onclick

        fileAdapter.setOnItemClickListener(new RowAdapter.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(int position) {
                String name = fileList.get(position).getName();
                fileData = fileList.get(position);
                //Log.d("LOG: ","fileData: " + fileData + " name: " + name);
                sendEmail(fileData, name);
            }

The following variables I am passing to the sendEmail method

FileData: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.loopbreakr.firstpdf/files/PDF_files/file__name_2021-01-28_16:20:14.pdf

name: file__name_2021-01-28_16:20:14.pdf
