Re: [android-developers] Re: help to build an intent filter
2011/1/28 hansolo h4ns...@gmail.com:
what's you mean using a standard MIME type ?
I mean using a standard MIME type, where by standard I mean one
that a random email client might actually use when constructing an
email message with an attachment. You can invent your own MIME types,
and that can work OK with Web servers, but email clients won't know to
use them, generally.
do you mean should I change my file extension to some well-known one
(ex: txt, jpg..) ?
Only if the file is of that format.
I don't know how mail client decide mime type of attached file.
Most map file extensions to MIME types, AFAIK.
and I
tried to change my extension to a some well-known one. (.pdf)
but the situation is same as follow
01-28 22:50:28.518: INFO/ActivityManager(59): Starting activity:
Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://
com.android.email.attachmentprovider/1/9/RAW flg=0x80001 }
so please tell me how can I use standard mime type.
I would have expected that the Email app would use the MIME type
embedded in the email information for the attachment, and that the
MIME type would therefore have appeared in the Intent.
Make sure the email you are looking at has the MIME types in it, by
looking at the raw email message itself.
my custom file is a base64-encoded text. and its content is some SEED-
encrypted html file.
so I use .smail extension on my file.
I will be fairly stunned if you ever get that to work. I suggest that
you reconsider the use of email as a means of distributing your files.
For example, if your emails have links to files, and the files are
served by Web servers, you have much greater control over how MIME
types are handled.

You are much better served using a standard MIME type.
my logcat show as follow when I try to preview an attached file on
mail client.
01-28 11:55:37.078: INFO/ActivityManager(59): Starting activity:
Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://
com.android.email.attachmentprovider/1/3/RAW flg=0x80001 }
And this is why you need a standard MIME type, as email attachments
have no extension in their content Uri values.
and I tried following intent filter
--
intent-filter
action
android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
/intent-filter
-
but this filter failed to catch that intent.
Of course.
so, please help me. what filter should I build to catch this intent?
Use a standard MIME type -- one the email client is likely to
understand and use with the attachment. Then, add a data element to
your filter with an android:mimeType attribute that is the MIME type
you are using.
