Inspite of choosing a Default app for my intent, isDefault is set to false to for both the ResolveInfos in my list. The order of the ResolveInfo seems to be based on install time - I verified this by choosing the second app in my Intent Resolver dialog and called queryIntentActivities again; my default app still showed up second in the list and isDefault was set to false.
Also, the documentation of isDefault says nothing about it being the default app, rather just that if the category of the intent was DEFAULT - "This filter has specified the Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT, meaning it would like to be considered a default action that the user can perform on this data." (Related question: When does this become true?) Any other pointers? Will PackageManager.getPreferredActivities help me in anyway? -George On Aug 10, 8:41 pm, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > Oh sorry, you are right, this function always return the full list.
