Try this :- Use Intent.EXTRA_STREAM only when you have to send Binary data like images , if you want to sent text use Intent.EXTRA_TEXT

    val shareIntent = Intent()
    shareIntent.action = Intent.ACTION_SEND
    shareIntent.type="text/plain"
    shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.");
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,getString(R.string.send_to)))

if using this code in adapter then last line should be context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,getString(R.string.send_to)))
