Your intent filter probably is not properly set up.

The NotePad tutorial is installed with your SDK, is often mentioned in these lists, and is documented on the Web site: http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/notepad/index.html It uses intent filters to handle alternative MIME types. Using it as a basis, you might try the following: <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <data android:mimeType="application/x-bittorrent"/> </intent-filter> -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training in Sweden -- http://www.sotrium.com/training.php --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
