Excuse my ignorance. I have attempted to read about intent filters and whatnot and cant figure out why this doesnt work
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="zerofate.torrentDroid" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0.0"> <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/ app_name"> <activity android:name=".TorrentDroid" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category." /> <type value="application/x-bittorrent" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest> I've got the intent included, surely the browser should be able to download the .torrent file now? Or do i need to create a separate activity to accept the intent, and what special requirements does this activity require (ie extends etc). Im pretty much at my witts end with this as i cant find any examples or guides online targeted towards intent-filters and mime types.
