[android-developers] Re: Associate my app with file format
Thanks, Ya, I figured application/emx* would not match anything; but I was grasping at straws. The server side of things is not in my control. I have to deal with the .emx files being downloaded with empty mimetype - or give up the enterprise entirely. :/ Usining mimetype=applcation/* is the only thing so far that allows me to download these .emx files in the browser and then open them from the downloads screen. Why does the browsers' download screen not recognize the path based associations like the various file managers do? Is there a scheme I am missing for the browser? -Jack On Jun 5, 11:02 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: We generally don't do matching based on extension, but on MIME type. Ideally you want your server to reporting a proper MIME type for your file. Also, the MIME type matches only handles '*' for type and subtype -- that is, application/* or */*. Your 'application/emx*' will not match anything.

I have to deal with the .emx files being downloaded with empty mimetype - or give up the enterprise entirely. :/ Is working with a WebView compatible with your spec ? That is could your application be the browser to the emx file ? Because then I'm note sure how, but you can change pretty much everything that is coming from the server using webviewclient, a downloadlistener or WhatNot from the WebKit component.

[android-developers] Re: Associate my app with file format
Further info, I tried adding the following to my manifest: intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW/ category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT / category android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE/ data android:scheme=http android:host=* android:pathPattern=.*\\.emx.*/ data android:scheme=https android:host=* android:pathPattern=.*\\.emx/ data android:scheme=content android:host=* android:pathPattern=.*\\.emx/ data android:scheme=file android:host=* android:pathPattern=.*\\.emx/ /intent-filter Now, in astro, OI-Filemanager my app is associated with .emx files. But, in the Browser downloads screen, my app is still not associated with .emx files. So, my new question is this, what do I need to do to get .emx files associated with my app in the Browser downloads screen. -Jack On Jun 5, 6:41 pm, jdeslip jdes...@gmail.com wrote: I am writing an app that needs to be able to open (be associated in the browser download window for example) with a certain file type.
