I guess adding an intent filter just allows my activity to start up if
someone starts a new intent with that data scheme and mimetype. I
guess it isn't meant for catching clicks in the browser. I guess the
code in the browser app needs to be changed to be able to start off a
new intent when a user clicks on an xml file - too much work? Does
anyone have any pointers as to where to begin if I wanted to do that?
