If there is a component registered that recognizes the MIME type, you can use startActivity(). So, for example, one hopes that DataViz' Documents to Go is set up to handle ACTION_VIEW or ACTION_EDIT Intents on whatever the Microsoft document MIME types are, so apps (like email clients) can ask Android to open them via startActivity(), and Android will know how to process the request. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
