I am writing an app that needs to be able to open (be associated in
the browser download window for example) with a certain file type.
The file type has .emx extension and is in an xml format (the top of
the files have <?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8"?> ).  However, I
can't for the life of me get my app associated with this filetype.  I
have tried the following in my Manifest:

            <intent-filter>
               <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
               <category
android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
               <data android:mimeType="application/xml"/>
               <data android:mimeType="application/rss+xml"/>
               <data android:mimeType="application/emx+xml"/>
               <data android:mimeType="application/*xml"/>
               <data android:mimeType="text/xml"/>
               <data android:mimeType="application/emx"/>
               <data android:mimeType="application/emx*"/>
               <data android:mimeType="application/xml*"/>
            </intent-filter>

with no luck.  I can get the filetype associated properly with my app
if I do the following:

            <intent-filter>
               <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
               <category
android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
               <data android:mimeType="application/*"/>
            </intent-filter>

but this also associates my app with every file format (which I
obviously don't want though I see that snesnoid does this for
example).  Does anyone know how I can associate my app with this .emx
file format alone?
