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

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