One Note for Android how can I email a note?

I don't see anyway to be able to email a note directly from One Note for android!  To me this is a HUGE overlook on Microsofts part.  The apple version allows you to email a note as a .pdf attachment, why on earth would the android version not support this? The idea being that if I create a note, or a list on the device, I have to sync, then go to a desktop (or apple device), to be able to print, email, or share it....is there any future plans for supporting sharing in android?

    Agree with comments.   This is a pretty epic fail / oversight.    Always frustrates me.   Love the app, hate my notes being trapped.   Fortunately for me I do have a Surface that syncs it all over from my phone.  BUT - when I try to send one of my notes from the Surface One Note app via email it doesn't embed any images properly.   Second Fail.   

    EDIT:

    Only fair to give a little more detail in case MSFT wants to address.

    On my surface I am using the One NOTE app ( not the full blown program).   I like the simplicity of the app,  however it seems to be missing some important functionality.    After creating my Note,  there is no "export" button,  but there is an easy share button.  Hit Share and you have several choices.  Emails being the obvious one --  I choose email,  it opens Microsoft Mail and attaches the note but the images don't work.   You see a message that reads "the linked image can not be displayed,  it may have been moved, deleted....blah blah blah!

    I recently completed feedback on this issue. Like the latest poster I too have a surface but use OneNote 2016 so while I can create notes on my Samsung Note 4 they must be shared using my Surface.

    The OneNote ecosystem is simply flaky has been my conclussion. They probably have independent teams working on the different versions of OneNote, the only requirement is being able to open and add to the file format, not add WHAT.

    Whomever leads the OneNote project should be fired and someone hired who will layout a single set of requirements for everything. For example, being able to SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN YOUR OWN COPY OF ONENOTE seems to be a basic, needed requirement.

    And, while you're at it. Why does my Surface using OneNote 2016 lose the ability to take pictures into notes when I move from the Metro app? Makes no sense. Another obvious and silly oversight.

    Get someone overseeing the project that has a single, consistent vision of the OneNote family of products who can help shape it into something useful. Right now MetaMoji notes is a better choice than OneNote, and that's pretty sad.

    Add me to the list of people who simply cannot wrap their mind around this function not being there. The whole point of OneNote is to be connected wherever I go. Not being able to share my notes is insane. It cuts me off from people. I don't know what Microsoft is thinking, but decisions like this are why I left Windows Phone, and have been slowly shifting all my devices and services away from Microsoft. It just doesn't even make sense at all.
