// have the object build the directory structure, if needed.
if (!vdfdirectory.exists()) {
vdfdirectory.mkdirs();

<external-path name="external_files" path="."/>
</paths>
Manifest
<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="com.example.testapp.provider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true"
tools:replace="android:authorities">
<meta-data

Solution
Try below code it works for sharing VCFile:
private void shareContact(ContactsModal modal) {
String lookupKey = null;
Cursor cur = ((Activity)context).getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, new String[]
{ ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY },
ContactsContract.Contacts._ID + " = " + modal.getContactID(), null, null);
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
lookupKey = cur.getString(0);
}
if(lookupKey!=null){
Uri vcardUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_VCARD_URI, lookupKey);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_VCARD_TYPE);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, vcardUri);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Contact Name");
((Activity)context).startActivity(intent);
}
}
