Android :: Mime Type - How Does It Works ?
Feb 26, 2009
I would like to run my app when a file extention is selected (from web browser, file browser, mail, ... : from everywhere in Android)
So : can I have a clear example of Manifest/xml and Java code to handle, let's say "*.doc" ?
What should be done in my Manifest.xml How to get the filename and read it from the Java code (from an Activity)

I would like to a mimetype to Android Web browser, to allow opening my application when a certain mime type file is downloaded by the web browser. Apparently, only media file's mime type can be supported by the web browser. Is it right? How can I do it?

My app has two private file formats with distinctive extensions. How to I register their MIME types and associate them with file extensions? My understanding that then my app can be launched to handle a file. How is this done and how to extract the file path my app is launched to handle?

I kept my .apk file in my "apache" webserver at "Document root" path. This is the only file at Document Root . I had removed index.html file at this location. If I keep the index.html file then other files where not displayed if I open the URL i.e http://<ip_address> using a web browser Now from my Google phone browser I'm able to download the apk file and and install it in Google phone. Note 1: I had not done any settings to add the MIME type "application/ vnd.android.package-archive" in apache web server. Note 2: I was connecting to my webserver through WiFi. But the same apk file I was not able to download from my Gmail (as attachment) and I got "unknown file type" error in this case. After reading few related topics, I came to know about the MIME type support required in webserver for android applications. Now I'm wondering how come file gets installed sucessfully from my apache webserver even without adding the MIME type "application/ vnd.android.package-archive". Any clues what's happening here?

Trying to figure what's wrong with my codings. I followed a blog post from here. I managed to get the codes to actually upload the file to a PHP web service. However, for some reason although I've set explicitly the MIME type for the file, PHP shows that the MIME is just a blank string and therefore rejected.

I want to register my application for files of a certain popular and well-documented MIME-type. The problem is that Android does not seem to recognize this MIME-type. The following sample code demonstrates this:
package com.example.helloandroid;
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.widget.TextView;
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setText("Hello, Android"); setContentView(tv); String extn = android.webkit.MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl("/data/a.xyz"); String xyzMimeType = android.webkit.MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension (extn); Log.d ("HelloAndroid", "extn: " + extn + " | xyzMimeType: " + xyzMimeType); }
}

I'm using JB 1.4.2 on Razr i. There's one thing that's annoying me a lot. I've installed the SNES Emulator SuperGNES and I've found that every single file type that have no app associated is showing SuperGNES icon and associated with it. Example: .log, .db, etc. Even files that have no extension is associated with it. The same problem occur when ZArchiver is installed. I don't know if it's a bug of these two apps or Android's in general. Remembering that this associations are shown only inside Android's native file manager. It's like every "unknown MIME type file" act like being the same.

Is anyone aware of options for S/MIME email support on Android? My company uses S/MIME for email encryption and it does not appear to be supported in the default mail client.

I can't seem to find out how a MIME type is found. For instance, say I want my application to bring up Contacts. Where can I find the MIME type for that task? I currently have the following:
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType("*/*");
Intent newIntent = Intent.createChooser(intent, null); startActivityForResult( newIntent , SHOW_VERIFY_ACTIVITY );
And the wildcards work. But I would like to be more explicit. Like the following:
intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/contacts");
...but is not valid.

Is there a way to use setType() and supply multiple broad types (like images and video)?
I'm using an ACTION_GET_CONTENT. It seems to be working with just comma-separated types.

I've been grappling with an issue all day.
I am trying to create a program to deal with .torrent files that are clicked on and/or downloaded by the browser. Currently the downloader reports "Cannot download. the content being downloaded is not supported on the phone"
Im fairly sure this is doable as i recently encountered the same issue with pdf files untill i installed a pdf reader.

My current situation is that I have a phone with 2 camera apps on it, stock and camera FV-5.
Camera FV-5 is slower than the stock camera, so I only use it in situations which I need manual control.
Whenever I open whatsapp and try to send a photo, the app asks me which camera I want to use, with no option to always use stock. I don't want camera FV-5 to exist as an option, as I will open it if I want to use it.
Is there a way to remove an app from the list so that my phone does not recognise camera FV-5 as a camera?

We have a user name and telephone field. User opens android keyboard and enters user name. Then in the keyboard user clicks the 'Next' button and it launches the telephone type keyboard. But the same behavior is not observed in case of swift keyboard. If user chooses swift keyboard, App doesn't bring the telephone keyboard on click of telephone field. Is there anyway I can enforce user to use Android Keyboard?

ONe of the main functions of my current smart phone is PIM functionality. I like to have my calendar up front. For example, this is my current home screen (via SPB Mobile Shell for WinMO):Just a small amount of calendar, but shows my next two upcoming appointments.I haven't seen any Android screen shots showing such a screen. Anyone know if there are widgets for any of the Android home screens to havef a calendar showing?The rest of the items on the screen are links to my most commonly used things.

All my contacts from my old phone seem to have been saved as Google contacts. But when I have been adding new contacts to the phone the past few months, for some reason, I always choose to not add them as Google contacts so they weren't synced to my Gmail. When I check my GMail contacts, all my old phone contacts are there, but not my new ones. Is it possible for me to change existing contacts not saved as Google contacts as Google contacts? Otherwise, when I do hard resets, I only get the same contacts from my old phone, and none of the new ones since then.

Couldn't find where the displacing thing is happening.
