Yeah there's always the chance that some other application can catch the intent, but the OS should present the user with a list of all these apps for them to choose from. If it becomes annoying for them, they can just permanently set which app to use to open that type of data, I think that works well. I guess I could copy/paste the old code for whatever activity displays single images into my app, I'd prefer to give the user a choice though, maybe they have some other cool image viewer app they'd like to use instead. It just seems like the nexus one implementation is getting confused, trying to merge this image I pass it into an album or something before displaying, maybe there is some intent extra I can pass it to not do that.
