Hi all,
I've written an app that can handle the VIEW action for a given
mimeType, say "application/foo". By adding the following to
AndroidManifest.xml the Browser automatically uses my app to open
downloads of that type:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<data android:mimeType="application/foo"/>
</intent-filter>
The GMail app also tries to use my app to Preview attachments of that
type, but it's passing a URI with scheme "gmail-ls://" rather than a
"file://" URI. I guess I need to use a ContentProvider to get the
attachment data, I haven't looked into that yet.
But the real mystery is the Email app... there just doesn't seem any
way to make it open the attachments.
Any pointers? Opening attachments is a very common requirement of
course, and I would expect the Android platform to encourage
developers to write apps to handle more mime types. Instead I couldn't
find any answers:
