Hello,

I want to have a menu item display in the contact app. I thought this
would be easy using an intent-filter but it does not seem to work for
me.  Maybe my understanding of intent-filters is wrong or maybe this
isn't possible.  I want a menu item to appear when the user is viewing
a contact.  Here is my intent-filter:

<activity android:name="com.myapp.intents.Contact"
                        android:label="@string/actContactsMenu">
                <intent-filter>
                        <category 
android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE"/>
                        <category
android:name="android.intent.category.SELECTED_ALTERNATIVE"/>
                        <category 
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                        <action android:name="com.myapp.intent.action.MyAction" 
/>
                        <data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.dir/
person" android:host="contacts"/>
                        <data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.dir/contact"
android:host="com.android.contacts"/>
                </intent-filter>
</activity>

When I use this, nothing shows up.  I tried adding the read contacts
permissions but that didn't help either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't seem to find an example
of this but the API says it is possible.

Thanks
