The MIME type is only one of the criteria used for determining if an Intent matches an IntentFilter. Another is the action. In the cited example, NotesList responds to android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT for vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.google.note, while NoteEditor responds to android.intent.action.VIEW and android.intent.action.EDIT for vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.google.note. So, if a VIEW intent for a note comes in, it will match NoteEditor (match on action and type) and not NotesList (match on type but not action). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
